NCR unsold stock declines 12% Y-o-y, West India by 10%, 32% Increase in South India


Gurugram, May 4, 2022: Before Covid-19, NCR’s residential market activity lagged far behind its Southern counterparts as it grappled with delayed project deliveries due to the financial crisis and disruptive policy interventions like DeMo, RERA, and GST. The post-Covid period saw a notable shift, with Delhi-NCR outpacing its southern and western counterparts.
Latest ANAROCK data shows that NCR’s unsold inventory declined by 12% in Q1 2022 against pre-pandemic Q1 2020, while the main Southern cities Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai saw their collective unsold stock increase by 32% in this period. MMR and Pune in the West saw their cumulative unsold stock reduce by 10%.
As Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman – ANAROCK Group, points out – “NCR’s unsold stock declined from approx. 1.73 lakh units in Q1 2020-end to approx. 1.53 lakh units by Q1 2022-end. In the same period, the main southern cities saw their unsold stock increase from approx. 1.21 lakh units in Q1 2020 to over 1.60 lakh units in Q1 2022. However, it bears highlighting that this rise in unsold inventory was primarily because of a massive new launch rate in Hyderabad.
Interestingly, this is the first time that in a quarter, NCR’s total unsold stock clocked in lower than in South India’s collective unsold stock. In the West’s MMR and Pune, the unsold stock declined by 10% between the pre and post-pandemic periods – from approx. 3.07 lakh units by Q1 2020 to approx. 2.75 lakh units in Q1 2022.

NCR also outstripped both the Southern and Western markets in supply additions with a massive 204% rise in new launches in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2020 – from 6,190 units in Q1 2020 to approx. 18,840 units in Q1 2022.
“We attribute NCR’s significantly upbeat performance to returning consumer confidence, prompted by the fact that several leading and listed players have amplified their supply pipeline in the region,” says Santhosh Kumar. “With a 204% increase of new homes between Q1 2020 and Q1 2022, NCR has resoundingly broken its previous trend of restricted new supply. Remarkably, despite this massive new supply, the region’s unsold stock saw the steepest reduction among all other regions.”
Collectively, the Southern cities saw approx. 37,810 new homes launched in Q1 2022 – a 142% increase against the 15,650 units in Q1 2020, while the Western cities witnessed a 109% jump – from 18,270 units in Q1 2020 to approx. 38,130 units in Q1 2022.
