Indian Metro Property Prices Soar in Q3 2025, Driven by Premium Demand

According to a report by digital real estate platform PropTiger.com by Aurum Proptech, property prices across Indian metros saw sustained growth in the July-September quarter of 2025. This upward trend is attributed to robust end-user demand, particularly in the premium segment, coupled with elevated input costs and a scarcity of quality, ready-to-move-in properties.

Delhi NCR led the growth, with prices appreciating 19% year-on-year and 9.8% quarter-on-quarter, pushing the average price to Rs 8900 per sq. ft. from Rs 7479 per sq. ft. Bengaluru recorded a 15% year-on-year and 12.6% quarter-on-quarter increase, reaching Rs 8870 per sq. ft. Hyderabad also saw significant growth of 13% year-on-year.

Karishmah Siingh of Sattva Group highlighted that this growth reflects an evolving urban economy driven by technology and aspiration, with families seeking integrated communities and long-term security. Other major cities like Greater Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata experienced robust single-digit price increases.

While home sales volume saw a marginal 1% year-on-year dip to 95,547 units, the total value of properties sold soared by 14% annually to Rs 1.52 lakh crore, signaling a strong shift towards premiumization. New supply saw a slight annual decline but grew 9.1% quarter-on-quarter, with developers strategically launching higher-value projects. New launches were concentrated in western and southern regions, with Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) leading. The top 8 cities include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, NCR, MMR, and Pune.

Impact: This trend positively impacts real estate developers, construction companies, building material suppliers, and financial institutions providing mortgages. It indicates a healthy demand for housing and a potential for increased investment in the sector.
