PropEquity’s CEO, Samir Jasuja, attributed the rising prices to renewed interest from developers and investors, driven by affordable land, infrastructure upgrades, and strong housing demand. These factors have spurred increased launches of premium and luxury housing projects by both established developers and new entrants.

This growth reflects Tier 2 cities’ increasing appeal as real estate hubs, offering opportunities for both buyers and investors.
