It has also proposed a 5-12.5% surcharge on properties near the e-way or along the Metro route. The real estate market in the National Capital Region has only recently begun to recover.

Overall sales in the top seven markets fell by 23% QoQ but increased by 83% year over year (YoY).

Total sales increased 18% YoY to 45,218 units in the first half (H1) of 2021, compared to the first wave in 2020, as the market proved more resilient to the second wave.

Despite the increase, the 2021 figures fell short of the pre-Covid levels. In comparison to H1 of 2019, the latest figures are 42% lower and are on par with H2 of 2017.

In the first half of 2021, new launches increased by 71% year over year.
