Luxury living was the talk of the town in 2024. The launch of premium and ultra-luxury projects marked a pivotal moment for India’s luxury housing market, driven by a shift in dynamics favoring affluent buyers and premium living spaces. As India’s economy continues to expand, luxury real estate has become a sought-after asset for those looking to enhance their lifestyle.

Various factors contributing to this shift include lifestyle upgrades, with affluent buyers increasingly seeking larger and more exclusive homes that offer not only luxury but also a higher quality of life. This dynamic has paved the way for the luxury real estate market to become more attractive than ever before, with cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru leading the charge and micro-markets like Gurugram, Noida, and South Mumbai showcasing robust growth.
