Overall, at least 126 land deals involving more than 3,772 acres were closed across India in 2025, compared with 133 deals spanning around 2,514 acres in 2024. While the number of transactions was marginally lower year-on-year, the total land area transacted in 2025 significantly surpassed that of the previous year. In 2024, MMR had closed at least 30 land deals covering over 607 acres.
“Latest ANAROCK Research data indicates that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region led the activity in number of land deals in 2025, with 32 deals spanning over 500-plus acres of land,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Group. “Residential, commercial, data centres, industrial and plotted developments are among the planned projects in the region.”
Of the total land deals concluded across India in 2025, 96 transactions covering approximately 1,877 acres were earmarked for residential development, including plotted projects, townships and villas.
