28 Mar 2025 CW Team

Anuj Puri, Chairman - ANAROCK Group, says, "MMR and Pune accounted for 51 per cent of the total sales, with MMR seeing a 26 per cent yearly drop and Pune a decline of over 30 per cent. At 49 per cent, Hyderabad saw the highest annual drop in sales, while Bengaluru had the lowest decline at 16 per cent." New launches across the top 7 cities remained above the one lakh mark but saw a 10 per cent yearly decline – from approx. 1,10,865 units in Q1 2024 to approx. 1,00,020 units in Q1 2025."

"Notably, MMR and Bengaluru saw the maximum new supply in Q1 2025, accounting for 52 per cent of the total new launches across the top 7 cities," adds Puri. "While MMR saw new supply drop by 9% annually, Bengaluru saw new supply increase by 27 per cent in this period. NCR, Bengaluru and Kolkata saw supply rise by 53 per cent, 27 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively, while the other cities recorded supply declines - with Hyderabad recording the highest 55 per cent yearly decrease."

Though new launches stayed above the 1 lakh mark in Q1 2024, unsold inventory dropped by 4 per cent annually – from approx. 5,80,890 units by Q1 2024-end to approx. 5,59,810 units by Q1 2025-end. Among the top cities, Pune saw the highest decline of 16 per cent in its available stock in Q1 2025. In contrast, Bengaluru saw its unsold stock rise by a significant 28 per cent - to approx. 58,660 units - by Q1 2025-end.

“India's overall economic scenario remains positive, with GDP growth rate pegged to be the highest globally and inflation also under control," says Puri. "However, rising housing prices and global headwinds like ongoing geopolitical tensions and a weak global economy, has taken their toll on India's residential market activity. These factors cascaded down into the housing market in Q1 2025.”
