Luxury housing sales in Delhi NCR climbed 8.5% year-on-year to 5,168 units in the first half of 2025, up from 4,763 in H1 2024, according to JLL. Gurugram dominated the segment with 91% of the region’s luxury transactions, driven by key corridors like the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) and Dwarka Expressway, which together accounted for 61% of sales.

Despite an overall 23% dip in residential sales in Delhi NCR, the luxury segment remained resilient. The share of luxury homes surged to 27% in total sales, up from 19% in H1 2024.

SPR emerged as a major hotspot, contributing 39% of luxury sales in the Rs 5 crore-and-above bracket. Infrastructure upgrades like the Dwarka Expressway and the upcoming Gurugram Metro are further boosting demand and prices in these corridors.

JLL noted that strong developer confidence and upcoming festive demand are driving new launches with premium amenities. Gurugram, which has seen the launch of 22,000 luxury units since 2020, is fast becoming India’s luxury housing capital.
