India's premium residential market witnessed a powerful upswing in 2025, with under-construction housing projects recording sharp year-on-year price gains across major cities. Strong infrastructure upgrades, rising demand for future-ready homes, preference for lifestyle-led developments, and limited ready inventory played a key role in driving this surge. Among the top performers, Noida, Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru stood out with some of the steepest appreciation trends across active project corridors.

Premium residential prices rose by up to 36 percent year-on-year in 2025, with under-construction developments leading the growth momentum.

• Noida: 9 to 36 percent
• Mumbai: 20 to 30 percent
• Gurugram: 2 to 19 percent
• Bengaluru: 13 to 15 percent
  

These gains were largely driven by infrastructure-led connectivity improvements, higher-quality launches, and buyer preference for amenity-rich communities.

In contrast, completed premium homes recorded a steadier rise of up to 20 percent annually, led by key pockets in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru.

The report highlighted that the strongest price growth was concentrated in projects still under development, reflecting buyer confidence in new-age layouts, modern specifications, future infrastructure alignment, and evolving urban corridors.

Mumbai

Under-construction capital values jumped 20 to 30 percent, far ahead of completed homes, which saw 4 to 7 percent growth. The sharpest traction was reported across coastal-road-influenced zones and central micro-markets, where premium launches feature better design, open layouts and lifestyle-driven amenities.

Noida

Values in under-construction projects surged up to 36 percent, especially along the Noida Expressway, supported by new-age developments, improving transport connectivity and strong end-user traction. Completed properties rose 10 to 20 percent, indicating continued investor confidence but deeper momentum in upcoming projects.

Key Market Drivers

• Limited ready-to-move inventory
• Rising land and construction costs
• End-user led demand rather than speculation
• Strong preference for branded and lifestyle-oriented residences
  

Bengaluru Continues Strong Run with Steady Launch Momentum

Bengaluru retained its premium-housing strength with:

• 13 to 15 percent YoY growth in under-construction homes
• 12 to 14 percent growth in completed developments
  

The city also reported a 40 percent jump in premium housing launches, even as supply dipped in other major markets.

East and North Bengaluru registered the strongest appreciation, riding on metro expansions, airport-led connectivity, and upgrades across Whitefield, KR Puram, Hebbal and Yelahanka. Central Bengaluru continued to command the highest value levels due to scarce ready stock and strong walk-in demand.

Rental markets further supported price momentum, with select corridors in Gurugram and Bengaluru recording up to 25 percent rental growth, improving yield visibility for investors.

Although under-construction developments dominated appreciation trends, ready premium homes also remained resilient, driven by scarcity of completed inventory and preference for immediate possession.

Completed home price growth in 2025 included:

• Delhi: 10 to 18 percent
• Noida: 10 to 20 percent
• Gurugram: 5 to 9 percent
• Mumbai: 4 to 7 percent
  

Demand remained stable across execution-reliable projects and established neighbourhoods.

Premium housing prices are expected to stay firm in 2026, though growth is likely to be shaped by:

• Timely project delivery
• Real infrastructure execution
• Disciplined, calibrated supply
  

Rather than broad-based momentum, performance is expected to concentrate around quality-driven and infrastructure-aligned developments.

The surge in premium under-construction housing prices across Noida, Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru signals a structural shift in buyer behaviour. With lifestyle-centric planning, future-ready infrastructure corridors and limited ready inventory shaping market sentiment, India's premium residential segment is evolving into a high-confidence, end-user-led growth story, and one that is likely to sustain its upward trajectory in the coming year.
