India Real Estate Sector Report 2025-2026

India's real estate sector is a vital pillar of the economy, covering residential, office, retail, and hospitality, while supporting industries like cement, steel, and furniture. It contributes strongly to GDP, jobs, and government revenue. The sector has modernized through the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), Goods and Services Tax (GST), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and Property Technology (PropTech) adoption, improving transparency and efficiency. Buyer demand has shifted toward larger, premium homes and integrated projects, while Tier II and III cities are becoming growth centres. Offices saw demand diversify beyond information technology and information technology-enabled services (IT-ITeS) into Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, and co-working.
