Top 15 Tier-2 cities see 6% growth in home sales value in Q1 2025
The value of residential properties sold across India's leading 15 tier 2 cities showed a 6% rise to Rs 40,443 crore during Q1 2025, compared to Rs 38,102 crore in Q1 2024. PropEquity, an NSE-listed property analytics firm, reported that Lucknow led the growth amongst tier 2 cities with a 25% increase, selling 1301 units in Q1 2025. Coimbatore followed with 21% growth, Gandhi Nagar with 18%, and Mohali with 2%. The total units sold decreased by 8% to 43,781 units in Q1 2025, down from 47,378 units in the corresponding period of the previous year. "The decline in sales in tier 2 cities in January-March period is in line with trends witnessed in tier 1 cities. However, lesser supply in this quarter resulted in lower sales in tier 2 cities. State Capitals performed relatively better," said Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity according to an ET repport by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Among the remaining 11 cities, sales declined in Q1 2025, with Visakhapatnam showing the steepest fall at 37%, whilst Ahmedabad and Goa experienced minimal declines of 1% each.

Seven cities experienced declining sales values in Q1 2025, with Visakhapatnam showing the largest decrease at 35%, whilst Vadodara and Nagpur recorded the smallest declines at 1% each. "Demand in tier 2 cities, however, remains robust as people have shown greater preference for organised living. Urban rejuvenation efforts, improved connectivity & social infrastructure, and more importantly greater employment opportunities mainly in IT and new manufacturing hubs in tier 2 cities have further accelerated demand not only from within but also from people who have migrated to metro cities and are preferring to purchase property in their hometowns," Jasuja said. The six State Capitals - Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Goa and Bhopal - experienced a 5% reduction in sales but a 17% increase in sales value, comprising 25% of sales and 30% of sales value in Q1 2025.

Oil jumps over 7% after Israel's strikes on Iran
Oil prices jumped more than 7% on Friday, trading near multi-month highs after Israel launched widescale strikes against Iran, sparking Iranian retaliation and raising worries about disrupted oil supplies. Brent crude futures jumped $5.1, or around 7.4%, to $74.46 a barrel by 0843 GMT after hitting an intraday high of $78.50, the highest since January 27. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up $5.1, or 7.5%, at $73.15 a barrel after hitting a high of $77.62, its highest level since January 21.

Friday's gains were the largest intraday moves for both contracts since 2022, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused a spike in energy prices. Israel said it targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders on Friday at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Live Events Iran's nuclear facility in Natanz was damaged, the country's atomic energy organisation said in a statement, but investigations have not shown any radioactive or chemical contamination outside the site. The primary concern was around whether the latest developments would affect the Strait of Hormuz, said SEB analyst Ole Hvalbye. The key waterway had been at risk of impact from increased regional volatility previously but had not been affected so far, Hvalbye said. There was also no impact to oil flow in the region so far, he added. About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait, or some 18 to 19 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil, condensate and fuel. Under a worst case scenario, JPMorgan analysts said on Thursday that closing the strait or a retaliatory response from major oil producing countries in the region could lead to prices surging to the $120-130 a barrel range, nearly double their current base case forecast. The $10 a barrel price gain in the past three days had yet to reflect any drop in Iranian oil production, let alone an escalation that could involve disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, Barclays analyst Amarpreet Singh said in a note. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Israeli strikes against Iran a "unilateral action" and said Washington was not involved while also urging Tehran not to target U.S. interests or personnel in the region. "The key question now is whether this oil rally will last longer than the weekend or a week - our signal is that there is a lower probability of a full-blown war, and the oil price rally will likely encounter resistance," said Janiv Shah, analyst at Rystad. "Fundamentals show nearly all Iranian exports going to China, so Chinese discounted purchases would be most at risk here. OPEC+ spare capacity can provide the stabilizing force," he added. In other markets, stocks dived and there was a rush to safe havens such as gold and the Swiss franc. "A key question is whether the Iranian retaliation will be limited to Israel or if the leadership will seek to internationalize the cost of tonight's action by targeting bases and critical economic infrastructure across the wider region," RBC Capital analyst Helima Croft said in a note.

India and China agree to resume direct flights: Vikram Misri meets Sun Weidong; to rebuild ties with 'people-centric engagements'
Sun Weidong ( and Vikram Misri (ANI) F oreign secretary Vikram Misri met Chinese vice foreign minister Sun Weidong in New Delhi on Friday in a renewed effort to improve bilateral relations between the two countries. Weidong is visiting India for two days. During the meeting, the neighbours decided to rebuild ties by prioritising 'people-centric engagements', including resuming direct flights. The discussions reviewed progress since the last meeting between the countries, which was held in Beijing in January. Misri expressed appreciation for China's cooperation in facilitating the resumption of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra this year, a significant development welcomed by Indian pilgrims. Last year, both countries reached a 6-point consensus on the same. Misri also referenced the discussions held in April 2025 under the Expert Level Mechanism on trans-border rivers, where both sides agreed on sharing hydrological data and other forms of cooperation, and hoped for progress. The talks highlighted accelerating the resumption of direct air connectivity and hoped to conclude an updated Air Service Agreement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Was Hidden in His Truck Will Surprise You prestigetrophy Learn More Undo Both sides agreed to take steps to ease the procedures for visa application and promote exchanges between media, scholars, and think tanks. The two countries also positively reviewed the activities planned for the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. Additionally, India and China have decided to convene functional dialogues in areas such as trade and economics, aimed at deepening engagement and cooperation across various fronts. India on Thursday had said it is in touch with the Chinese side as China had raised export controls on rare earth related items. "We are in touch with the Chinese side, both here in Delhi as well as in Beijing to bring predictability in the supply chain for trade, consistent with international practices,", the MEA spokesperson had said. Earlier in April, President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met with their Chinese counterparts, Xi Jinping and Li Qiang, respectively, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. Vikram Misri had joined an event hosted by the Chinese ambassador Xu Feihong and said that the event would become even more 'meaningful' if the oaths taken by the countries are translated into tangible actions.
