Robust Real Estate Market Performance

Mumbai, recognized as the country’s largest and most expensive property market, led this growth trend. The city achieved record property deal registrations, surpassing the 10,000 mark each month for the first five months of 2024. This streak included ten consecutive months of year-on-year growth in registrations since August 2023.
Key Market Drivers
South and Central Mumbai, known for hosting India’s most expensive apartments, have significantly contributed to this performance. The micro-market has witnessed numerous high-value transactions involving industrialists, CXOs, actors, and sports personalities over recent years.
