A total of 43,781 units were sold in Q1 2025 compared to 47,378 units in Q1 2024.

State capitals show resilience

The six state capitals in the report—Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Goa, and Bhopal—saw a 5% drop in unit sales but a significant 17% increase in sales value. These cities together accounted for 25% of total units sold and 30% of the total sales value in Q1 2025, underscoring their importance in the tier 2 market.
