The Indian housing market is entering a make-or-break year. A record 5.4 lakh homes are slated for delivery in 2026, but global uncertainties triggered by the West Asia conflict could put developers' execution capabilities under unprecedented pressure

Developers with strong exposure to luxury and premium housing segments outperformed the broader market. Prestige Estates led the pack with 76 per cent growth in pre-sales, followed by Puravankara at 48 per cent, Keystone/Rustomjee at 33 per cent, Sobha at 30 per cent
