India’s high-end property market is seeing a transformation as luxury home sales outpace affordable housing sales. During Q1 2025, property sales in the ₹5 crore and ₹10 crore segments grew 82 per cent year-on-year. This demonstrates increasing traction in homebuyers’ and investors’ sentiments.
Growing Demand for Luxury Homes
Over the past few years, luxury housing has seen tremendous expansion in line with overall socioeconomic change. And these days, it’s not only about voluminous spaces anymore. All people wish for these days is comfort, privacy, and houses that just feel right to live in. Metropolises such as Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Delhi are seeing this in a big way. In 2025, there’s a stronger desire for luxury residences, along with interest in environment-friendly amenities, smart home technology, and overall superior design.
Super-luxury projects like Lodha Altamount on Altamount Road and Rustomjee Crown in Prabhadevi have come to prominence, along with ultra-luxury projects in Delhi-NCR and in Mumbai in the ₹100 crore to over ₹200 crore range.
What’s Behind This?
Today’s luxury homebuyers are motivated by various factors, including their desire for spacious homes with excellent living conditions, a focus on wellness and lifestyle, and growing aspirations for luxury amenities.
What Is It That Opulent Indians Seek?
Nowadays, many affluent buyers seek exclusive communities that offer upfront security and world-class facilities, along with a lifestyle that exudes luxury, comfort, and a strong sense of community, making them feel privileged and elite.
Emerging Locations for New Luxury Homes
Tier 1 cities like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai are becoming India’s premier destinations for buying luxury homes. India’s major cities registered a significant rise in Q1 2025 vis-à-vis Q1 2024, with nearly 1,930 luxury units priced above ₹4 crore being sold. Sales leadership was retained by Delhi-NCR with 49 per cent, followed by Mumbai at 23 per cent and with Bengaluru exhibiting the best expansion. Sales got a further boost from the rate cut delivered by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which boosted acceptability and spurred additional investment in luxury housing. Pune too registered a 4.7x expansion in sales in the same timeframe.
The Future Outlook
As India’s economy continues to expand, wealthy individuals will look for high-end homes and luxury homes will be a defining cornerstone of India’s urbanised future. Top-tier markets will continue to be favoured for high-tech yet environment-conscious designs. Improved infrastructure, metro networks, and job expansion will see the demand for luxury homes expand, offering reassurance and instilling confidence in the minds of homebuyers.
