India’s luxury housing sales jumped 130 Percentage in H1 2025, driven by millennials, NRIs, and demand for branded, smart, and wellness-focused residences.
India luxury housing market 2025
India’s luxury housing market is rewriting real estate history. In just the first half of 2025, sales of homes priced above ₹1.5 crore jumped by nearly 130% year-on-year, according to industry reports. The surge is being powered by rising disposable incomes, ambitious millennial buyers, and the appetite for branded residences and gated communities in the post-pandemic era. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru are at the forefront, while a new wave of NRI investments up 25%-is further fueling this momentum.
Aspirations Meet Affluence
For Sundeep Jagasia, Director of Shree Krishna Group, the boom reflects a fundamental lifestyle shift. “Cafés, offices, and public spaces may change, but the home has emerged as the ultimate luxury. Buyers today aren’t just purchasing four walls they’re investing in exclusivity, amenities, and a safe haven for their families,” he explains.
LC Mittal, Director of Motia Builders Group, highlights how Delhi-NCR is driving the luxury tide. “In 2025 alone, sales rose by 85% thanks to affluent young buyers who aren’t just chasing square footage, but also status, technology, and sustainability. Smart features, wellness zones, and concierge services are now standard. With bold launches and completions along key corridors like the Dwarka Expressway, luxury housing has transformed into a powerful marker of smart wealth,” he notes.
Beyond Opulence: Lifestyle Redefined
According to Jetaish Gupta, Founder and Director of Adore Group, the luxury housing boom is about more than indulgence. “Affluent buyers, including NRIs, now view private offices, wellness amenities, and green features as non-negotiables. Over 70% of high-net-worth individuals prefer wellness-integrated homes with meditation corners, biophilic design, and air purification. Policy reforms like RERA and FDI liberalization have strengthened trust, turning luxury homes into both lifestyle choices and reliable investments,” he adds.
In Mumbai, where land is scarce and vertical development is reshaping skylines, Aniket Sheth, Senior Vice President at SILA, draws parallels with cities like New York and Hong Kong. “Luxury towers are replacing old buildings, and nuclear families and young professionals are driving demand. Buyers are savvy they can distinguish between standard apartments and true Grade A projects. For them, luxury is about design, branded names, and sustainability. Owning a premium address in Mumbai isn’t just about a home it’s a stake in the city’s evolving identity,” he says.
Tech-First and Wellness-Centric
The next wave of buyers is younger, tech-driven, and globally exposed. Annuj Goel, Chairman of Goel Ganga Developments, points out that nearly 20% of HNIs in luxury housing are under 40. “They want smart homes with voice control, automation, and green certifications. Features like clean air, circadian lighting, and fitness chalets are becoming mainstream. Branded residences and sustainable infrastructure are insulating the luxury segment from the slowdown affecting affordable and mid-market housing,” he remarks.
In Delhi-NCR, often dubbed India’s “Billionaire Belt,” the appetite for ultra-luxury is extraordinary. Mr. Manoj Goyal, Director of Forteasia Realty Pvt. Ltd., reveals: “In H1 2025 alone, over 3,900 homes priced above ₹6 crore were sold. Gurugram and Noida are the epicenters, but Tier-II cities are also waking up. Post-pandemic priorities, new wealth creation, and favorable currency movements are attracting both domestic buyers and NRIs. Today, luxury real estate aligns with global standards while retaining local sensibility.”
The New Language of Luxury
What truly sets this boom apart is its redefinition of what “luxury” means. Siddharth Maurya, Founder & MD of Vibhavangal Anukulakara Pvt. Ltd., calls it a wellness-and-tech revolution. “Smart systems now regulate air, light, and security. Natural design reduces stress, while yoga terraces, home gyms, and air-purification systems are must-haves. Around 75% of buyers demand homes with automation and sustainable finishes. These residences aren’t just about comfort they’re blueprints for India’s urban future,” he explains.
The Road Ahead
With demand outpacing supply in prime locations and developers racing to deliver world-class projects, India’s luxury housing segment is entering its most dynamic phase yet. No longer just a symbol of status, luxury homes today embody privacy, health, sustainability, and intelligent living values that reflect the aspirations of a new, globally connected India.
As the market matures, one thing is certain: luxury housing in India is not merely booming-it is redefining the very idea of homeownership.
