The weighted average launch price of residential plots in these 10 cities rose 27 per cent annually in 2024 to Rs 3,679 per sq ft, which translates to Rs 33,111 per square yard and Rs 39,586 per square metre.
Commenting on the report, Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder and MD of Stonecraft Group, said, "The surge in plotted development across India's cities reflects a growing desire among people for ownership and personalisation."
Yashank Wason, Managing Director, Royal Green Realty, said, "Indore's rise among the top three plotted development markets is a testament to its evolution into a dynamic real estate destination."
Sam Chopra, President and Country Head, eXp Realty India, said the launch of 4.7 lakh plots in these 10 cities in just over three years reflects a decisive shift in buyer behaviour, from built-up units to land ownership. PTI

Top 10 cities for your next workation: Mumbai makes debut at this place on global list
Top 10 cities for your next workation: In just a few years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the way we work has transformed. The office is no longer the default, and for many professionals, the workplace can be anywhere with a strong internet connection. That's where the concept of a workation — part 'work,' part 'vacation' — comes in, letting you spend your mornings on video calls and your afternoons exploring a new city. A workation isn't just doing your job from different locations; it's about combining productivity with the pleasures of travel. Thanks to high-speed Wi-Fi, well-equipped coworking spaces, and a growing digital infrastructure, more destinations are catering to this lifestyle than ever before. Whether you're a remote employee, freelancer, or entrepreneur, the city you choose can make a big difference. Finding a location that combines stunning landscape, a thriving culture, and distinctive local experiences with practical necessities like fast internet, reasonably priced lodging, and comfy work arrangements is the sweet spot. This year, Mumbai made a noteworthy debut, scoring 73 out of 120 and landing in 36th place as an emerging workation destination. Known for its energetic business hubs and wide range of flexi-work spots, Mumbai also impressed for its cultural depth. The 'Queen's Necklace' at Marine Drive, its Art Deco architecture, and an unmatched food scene helped the city stand out. As IWG noted, Mumbai's mix of 'vibrant culture, music, and refined urban experiences' puts it in the same league as some of Asia's major economic powerhouses. Topping the 2025 list is Tokyo, with an impressive 91/120, praised for lightning-fast broadband, world-class transport, safety, and cultural richness. Rio de Janeiro came in second, followed by Budapest, Seoul, and Barcelona. Rome and Paris joined the rankings for the first time, taking the eighth and ninth spots. Other Asian cities in the spotlight include Jakarta, Beijing, Singapore, Manila, and Hong Kong. IWG's findings also reflect broader workplace priorities, 78 per cent of employees now say that a 'work from anywhere' policy matters when considering a new role, while 87 per cent believe remote work can boost productivity, reduce burnout, and improve work-life balance.

PM Modi asked to give representation on Bengaluru Tunnel Road Project: Dy CM Shivakumar
BENGALURU: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar informed the Legislative Council on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his recent visit to Bengaluru, directed the state government to submit a formal proposal for the ambitious Tunnel Road Project. The PM's instruction came after he expressed admiration for the Ragigudda Double Decker Project and encouraged its expansion into a 44-km double-decker corridor for the city. Shivakumar was responding to BJP MLC CT Ravi's queries regarding the Tunnel Road Project's feasibility and alleged discrepancies in its Detailed Project Report (DPR). The DCM stated, "The PM said India is seen through Bengaluru and echoed what former PM Vajpayee has told. Hence we asked him to fund the Tunnel Road Project to which he replied saying give a representation and he shall look into it." He added that the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) would share the project cost equally. Highlighting Bengaluru's rapid urbanization, Shivakumar noted that the city's population has doubled from 70 lakh to 1.4 crore in 25 years, while vehicle numbers have surged to 1.23 crore. "The city has 25 lakh software engineers compared to 13 lakh in California," he said, emphasizing the need for infrastructure upgrades like the Tunnel Road, Double Decker corridors, and buffer zone roads to ease congestion. The DCM revealed that Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had advised studying Mumbai's tunnel projects before finalizing plans. After a 1.6-year review, the government decided to proceed. Defending the higher cost compared to metro projects, Shivakumar clarified, "The DPR cost for Tunnel Road was more compared to Metro was due to increase in diameter and length and present-day situation." He detailed that the 14-meter-wide tunnel would accommodate three lanes plus an emergency lane, becoming India's longest upon completion at Rs 770 crore per km. The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model will see the state contributing 40% and private agencies 60%, with Rs 800 crore allocated for land acquisition. "Judges, officials, and common man from Hebbal surroundings take 45 minutes to reach Vidhana Soudha and Court Surroundings and are suffering daily," he said, defending the project
