Nearly 1.13 lakh ready-to-move supply to be in the affordable category, 33 per cent in the mid-segment; only 10 per cent in luxury

MMR and Pune to collectively see over 1.01 lakh ready-to-move homes; IT hubs Bengaluru and Hyderabad nearly 55,000 units
With overdue projects attracting RERA penalties, emphasis will be on timely delivery.

The top 7 cities may see nearly 2.75 lakh new ready-to-move (RTM) homes over the next one year, provided developers stay on schedule. There are currently 13.1 lakh units, launched between 2014 to Q3 2019, in various stages of construction in the top 7 cities. Nearly 21 per cent are to be delivered by 2020-end.

Among the top 7 cities, NCR will see maximum RTM supply with 68,070 units, and Chennai the least at about 10,860 units.
Out of the total projected ready supply:

Over 41 per cent (nearly 1.13 lakh) units will be in the affordable segment (priced below Rs 40 lakh)

16 per cent in the Rs 80 lakh - 1.5 Crore budget range
Only 10 per cent in the luxury and ultra-luxury segments.

Anuj Puri, Chairman, Anarock Property Consultants, says, "RERA is gaining stronger ground in most states and many of these projected 2.75 lakh units are likely to be completed on time by December 2020. Delhi-NCR may see some projects delayed by a few months due to the construction ban. Also, developers are keenly aware that ready-to-move homes are in greatest demand and will spare no effort in completing their projects on time."
“Most buyers are focused on the affordable and mid segments (priced below Rs 80 lakh) and will have ample choice once this ready inventory hits the market by the end of next year. A whopping 74 per cent – or approximately 2.04 lakh units – fall in these two segments.”
