NCR real estate market sees 81% increase in property prices over the last five years: Anarock report
The National Capital Region (NCR) has recorded an 81% increase in average property price to ₹8,300 per sq ft in Q1 2025 from ₹4,580 per sq ft in 2020, according to a report from real estate consultancy Anarock.
Greater Noida has seen the highest average property price increase in the National Capital Region (NCR) over the past five years, rising by 98% to ₹6,600 per sq ft in Q1 2025 from ₹3,340 per sq ft in 2020, it said. Noida followed with a 92% average price rise, reaching ₹9,200 per sq ft in Q1 2025 from ₹4,795 per sq ft in 2020.
Delhi ( ₹25,200 per sq ft) and Gurgaon ( ₹11,300 per sq ft) had the highest average property prices in Q1 2025. Over the last five years, average property prices in Delhi and Gurgaon rose by 38% and 84%, respectively, the report said.
The report, titled NCR Real Estate – A Beacon of Growth and Opportunity, outlines key developments in the region's housing market from 2020 to 2025.
It highlights that structural reforms such as RERA, the SWAMIH Fund, and PMAY (Urban) have played a major role in turning around NCR's real estate sector.

The report said that NCR recorded a 51% drop in unsold housing inventory. This figure fell from approximately 1.73 lakh units at the end of Q1 2020 to about 84,500 units by the end of Q1 2025.
Among NCR cities, Noida saw the sharpest reduction in unsold homes—down by 72% from around 18,148 units in Q1 2020 to just over 5,000 units in Q1 2025. Ghaziabad followed with a 58% drop, and Greater Noida recorded a 56% fall in unsold stock over the same period.

In terms of new housing supply, 2024 saw the launch of approximately 53,000 units across NCR, a 44% rise compared to 2023.
"Another notable change is in budget categories—in previous years, affordable housing (units priced below ₹40 lakh) dominated the supply pipeline. However, the past three years post-COVID-19 saw the maximum supply share shift to luxury and ultra-luxury housing," the report said.
Instead, the market has moved toward high-end homes. Ultra-luxury housing (priced above ₹2.5 crore) made up 59% of new launches in 2024—up from 24% in 2023 and just 4% in 2020.
The report also highlights growth corridors within NCR that are seeing strong real estate activity. These include Sohna, New Gurgaon, Dwarka Expressway, and Greater Noida West.

Carpet area of new flats in Mumbai 43% less than super built-up — biggest gap in country
Mumbai: Apartments in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have the highest 'loading' factor — difference between super-built-up area and carpet area — among the top seven Indian cities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to data collated by ANAROCK Research, MMR has a loading factor of 43%. As an example, a 1,000 sq ft flat will have a living area of under 600 sq ft. "Earlier, super built-up areas were the norm for quoting and marketing, which often overstated the liveable space. While the conversation around square footage continues in the sales room across the table, the focus in advertising appears to have shifted from actual flat sizes, which was more prevalent in earlier years, to taglines such as 'spacious 2 BHK' in advertisements and on hoardings,'' said Prashant Thakur, Regional Director & Head - Research & Advisory, ANAROCK Group. "RERA mandates that all mentions of size must be only based on carpet area. This is strictly mandated in Maharashtra, so marketing has had to adapt to steering the messaging around features and amenities instead. Buyers have become more conscious of shrinking liveable spaces and rising loading percentages," he added. Amid the rising demand for state-of-the-art amenities within housing projects, the 'loading' factor has been on the rise across the top cities. MMR continues to see the highest loading— difference between super-built-up area and carpet area— among the top 7 cities with 43% in Q1 2025. The region has seen the average loading percentage grow steadily over the years —from 33% in 2019 to 39% in 2022, and 43% in Q1 2025. Bengaluru has seen the highest percentile jump in average loading over the last seven years, from 30% in 2019 to 41% in Q1 2025. In 2022, it was 35%. This dovetails with the increasingly higher saturation of modern amenities that developers now include to cater to the higher lifestyle ask in the IT hub. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chennai, on the other hand, has the least average loading rise in Q1 2025 with 36%, aligning with a city-specific demand profile where homebuyers prefer to pay more for usable space within their homes rather than for common areas. In 2019, Chennai's average loading percentage was 30%, like Bengaluru. It gradually rose to 32% in 2022 and further to 36% in Q1 2025. In NCR, average loading percentage rose from 31% in 2019 to 37% in 2022, and 41% in Q1 2025. In Pune, it was 32% in 2019, rose to 36% in 2022, and stood at 40% in Q1 2025. Hyderabad saw an average loading percentage increase from 30% in 2019 to 33% in 2022, and to 38% in Q1 2025. Kolkata too saw its average loading factor increase from 30% in 2019 to 35% in 2022, and further to 39% in Q1 2025. "While RERA now requires developers to mention the total carpet area provided to homebuyers, no law currently limits the loading factor in projects. Q1 2025 readings show that 60% of total space within their apartment that homebuyers in the top seven cities pay for is livable space, the remaining 40% is common areas – elevators, lobbies, staircases, clubhouses, amenities, terraces, and so on. The average loading percentage was 31% back in 2019," said Thakur. "Today, higher amenity loading has become the norm across most projects, partly because homebuyers are no longer satisfied with basic lifestyle amenities - they expect fitness centres, clubhouses, park-like gardens, and grand lobbies. Collectively, these features may improve comfort, community livability, and also resale value; however, homebuyers effectively lose on actual usable space within their apartments, " he said. Essential infrastructure in modern housing projects now typically includes more lifts with bigger passenger capacities, amplified utility areas, and fire escapes that meet regulatory safety protocols. In high-density urban developments, optimizing space for both private and shared use is crucial for a better living experience and long-term value, making some level of extra loading an inescapable fact of life. "Respective state RERAs should ideally enforce provisions wherein each project clearly mentions how much buyers are paying for the total usable space within the apartment, and for the amenities," the ANAROCK report said.

Women are now key drivers of progress in India: FM Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday highlighted that in the last 11 years, women have emerged as key drivers of progress in the country, with the Narendra Modi government launching various schemes to empower Nari Shakti. Highlighting '11 years of Sashakt Nari', the Finance Minister said that under the PM Jan Dhan Yojna, the world's largest financial inclusion scheme, 55.7 per cent of accounts were held by women, which reflected their empowerment at the grassroots level. She further pointed out that women now account for 68 per cent of the MUDRA loan beneficiaries nationwide. These loans have enabled lakhs of women to become entrepreneurs and pursue their dreams independently. Apart from this, 74 per cent of those getting benefits under the Start-Up India entrepreneurs scheme are also women. Besides, 73 per cent of houses under the PMAY (Gramin) scheme for the poor are owned by women, she said. The Finance Minister also mentioned that 10 crore LPG connections have been given to poor women under the Ujjwala Yojana. These have come as a big boon for them, making their life easier with accompanying health benefits. They have been freed from the harmful smoke of wood and other fuels, such as cow dung, that were used for cooking earlier. The Jan Dhan scheme has been a huge success in financial inclusion, as the average bank balance per account in March 2015 was Rs 1,065, which has now increased to Rs 4,352. Around 80 per cent of the accounts are active, she added. As many as 66.6 per cent of Jan Dhan accounts have been opened in rural and semi-urban areas, and 29.56 crore (55.7 per cent) belong to women account holders. These accounts are used on a large scale. People are also depositing money in them. However, this scheme allows zero balance accounts, and only 8.4 per cent of the accounts have zero balance. When the Modi government first came to power about 10 years ago, it set a target of providing financial and banking services to every citizen. For this, zero balance bank accounts were opened in the banks for the poorest of the poor under 'Pradhanmantri Jan Dhan Yojana' launched on August 28, 2014.

PMAY beneficiaries to get two tractor-loads of sand free: Odisha Min Pujari
BHUBANESWAR: In a move to reduce financial burden of the poor and low income group people, especially beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the state government on Saturday announced to provide two tractor-loads of sand free of cost for house construction. Informing the decision, Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari told mediapersons that a proposal is also being drafted to ensure supply of sand to people at reasonable rates for house construction. 'The government has decided to issue permit to poor and low income group people to get sand free of cost ensuring that affordable housing becomes a reality. This will reduce the construction cost of the poor people especially the PMAY beneficiaries,' the minister said. At the same time, sand prices will be regulated to make it affordable for different income groups who depend on local suppliers and dealers, mostly dominated by the sand mafia. 'Illegal mining of sand from riverbed by sand mafia and sometime by the Water Resources department for general purpose, and transportation of sand using heavy vehicles like Hyva trucks are the other areas of concern. The government will take a call on the two issues soon,' Pujari said.
