Chennai was the only metro that witnessed an YoY increase in sales by 11% at 5,660 units.
In contrast, housing unit sales rose by 14% YoY between Q2 CY2024 and the corresponding period of CY2023.
On a QoQ basis, sales in MMR and Pune were down by just 1% and 4%, respectively, while developers in Bengaluru, NCR and Hyderabad had a 1%, 14% and 9% growth in sales. Anuj Puri, chairman – Anarock Group, said, "The second quarter of 2025 was a rollercoaster for the Indian housing market, rocked by major military actions at home and abroad.
The war-like climate pushed homebuyers into wait-and-watch mode, compounding the impact of soaring property prices over the past two years.
"
Shekhar G Patel, president, Credai, said the slowdown in quarterly sales observed in some markets can be attributed to a combination of elevated input and land costs, inflationary pressures on household budgets, and a more measured pace of new project launches—factors that have contributed to temporary caution among certain buyer segments".

"However, this short-term trend should not be viewed as indicative of the sector's overall health. The RBI's recent decision to reduce the repo rate by 50 basis points is expected to positively influence buyer sentiment. With another rate cut anticipated later this year and the festive season approaching in Q3 and Q4, the housing sector is poised for a gradual but steady recovery in the second half of 2025," he told TOI.

, executive director, Brigade Group, said, the increase in housing sales in Bengaluru and Hyderabad during Q2 CY2025 can be attributed to the potential turnaround after a subdued Q1.

India imposes anti-dumping duty on plastic machines from China, Taiwan
The Central Government on Friday announced anti-dumping duties on plastic processing machinery imported from China and Taiwan, ranging between 27 to 63 per cent. The move aims to safeguard the domestic manufacturing sector from unfair trade practices. The decision follows a detailed investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which concluded that plastic processing machines from these two regions were being dumped in the Indian market, meaning they were sold at prices significantly lower than their normal value in the exporting countries. This practice was found to be causing 'material injury to the domestic industry'. The affected machinery falls under tariff codes 8477 10 00 and 8477 90 00 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, which typically cover injection moulding machines and other equipment used in the production of plastic goods. The DGTR's final findings, issued on March 27, 2025, establish these three conclusions: Machinery from China and Taiwan had been exported at unfairly low (dumped) prices. The domestic plastic machinery industry suffered significant damage as a result. The injury was directly caused by these dumped imports. Following these findings, the Department of Revenue issued a notification, dated June 26, enforcing the recommended duties. These duties are calculated as a percentage of the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of the imported goods—a method that includes the cost of the goods, shipping, and insurance. New duty rates are as follows:
