The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) emerged as the undisputed leader, securing 32 transactions over 500 acres, outpacing even 2024’s volume despite fewer deals.
This surge reflects deep-seated optimism in the real estate sector, with builders targeting high-potential areas in top cities and beyond. Residential development dominated, claiming 96 deals and 1,877 acres across various city tiers, from bustling metros to promising peripheries.
Anuj Puri, Anarock’s Chairman, pointed to MMR’s diverse pipeline: ‘From housing and offices to data centers and industrial zones, MMR’s 500+ acres underscore strategic foresight.’ Bengaluru mirrored this fervor with 27 deals surpassing 454 acres, undaunted by escalating prices.
