India’s top eight housing markets recorded price increases between 7 and 19 per cent during the July–September 2025 quarter, driven by strong buyer demand and infrastructure upgrades, according to real estate consultancy PropTiger, recently acquired by Aurum PropTech Ltd. Releasing data for the primary housing market across the top cities, PropTiger reported that Delhi-NCR led the growth with a 19 per cent annual rise in prices, fuelled by high-end property demand and expanding infrastructure. The weighted average price of homes in Delhi-NCR rose to Rs 8,900 per sq ft, up from Rs 7,479 per sq ft a year earlier. Bengaluru and Hyderabad also recorded robust double-digit growth, with prices rising 15 per cent and 13 per cent year-on-year, respectively. Bengaluru’s average home price increased to Rs 8,870 per sq ft from Rs 7,713 per sq ft, while Hyderabad saw prices climb to Rs 7,750 per sq ft from Rs 6,858 per sq ft. In Ahmedabad, home prices grew 7.9 per cent to Rs 4,820 per sq ft, up from Rs 4,467 per sq ft. Chennai recorded a 9 per cent rise to Rs 7,173 per sq ft, while Kolkata saw an 8 per cent increase to Rs 6,060 per sq ft. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) posted a 7 per cent rise, with average prices reaching Rs 13,250 per sq ft, compared to Rs 12,383 per sq ft in the previous year. Pune also registered a 9 per cent appreciation, with prices at Rs 7,250 per sq ft, up from Rs 6,651 per sq ft. Commenting on the trends, Zyad Noaman, President of CREDAI–Bengaluru, said, “The strong 15 per cent annual and 12.6 per cent quarterly growth reflects Bengaluru’s solid fundamentals and growing buyer confidence. The city continues to attract both end-users and investors, reinforcing its reputation as one of India’s most resilient real estate markets.” Ankush Kaul, President – Sales, Marketing & CRM at Central Park, observed that Delhi-NCR’s continued rise reflects “deep market fundamentals rather than short-term buoyancy,” noting that “premiumisation and evolving buyer preferences towards quality, lifestyle, and long-term value” are driving this trend. Sumit Ranjan, COO of Roots Developers, attributed Delhi-NCR’s surge to “sustained demand and infrastructure upgrades,” particularly along key corridors such as the Dwarka Expressway, which have emerged as growth catalysts. With consistent demand, rapid infrastructure development, and a focus on premium housing, India’s top cities continue to witness steady and broad-based appreciation across the residential real estate market.
