The Indian Housing Market: A Roadmap for the Next Five Years

By Udit Jain, Director, ONE Group Developers: According to forecasts that show a robust climb influenced by several economic and policy elements, India’s real estate industry will experience a substantial rise in the following five years. As urban growth increases and population patterns shift, the housing and commercial markets will undoubtedly see important changes. 

A detailed perspective on the coming changes in the Indian housing sector from 2024 to 2029 is presented.

Growth Drivers

Several factors will contribute to the growth of India’s housing market over the next five years:

Urbanization and Demographics: The need for housing in India increases with fast urbanization as many individuals relocate to metropolitan areas. In 2030, India’s urban populace is forecast to total 600 million, which requires 40 million dwelling units. 

As urban progress intensifies, it is expected to ignite the construction of fresh housing units, particularly in major cities like NCR, Bangalore and MMR, as well as emerging urban areas in smaller towns, popularly called as Tier-2 cities.

Technological Innovations: The real estate industry is adopting cutting-edge building technologies to fasten the construction of homes and guarantee lasting efficiency. Innovative green building methods and efficient models are becoming more important as governmental efforts enhance sustainable growth.

Cutting-edge technologies will be integrated into mass housing thanks to the aluminium formwork, and environmentally friendly homes will emerge.

Financial Sector Support: Expect the real estate financing environment to transform. As more affordable financing and competitive interest rates emerge from housing financiers, homes will be more attainable for a broader range of income groups. 

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) and institutional investors heading into the housing market will increase market expansion.

Key Market Trends

Sub-urban Areas to Lead: Over the coming five years, real estate growth in India will largely depend on the Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Government agencies and private developers are concentrating significantly on this part. 

In Tier II and III cities, there is a notable rise in the popularity of residential options among rural citizens by migrating to the large town closest to their village. Developers are changing their emphasis to providing quality houses in these cities, recognizing the ongoing need in this sector.

Luxury and Premium Segments: The luxury market is seeing a huge uptick, particularly in large cities. The preferences of wealthy buyers changed during the pandemic and they now aim for bigger houses with top luxuries. An uptick in luxury property initiatives has occurred due to this trend, particularly in Mumbai and Bengaluru regions. The massive surge in demand for luxury housing has changed the definition of Luxury as the bare minimum necessities a family expects from a house have increased. It is just as some features in a car were considered as luxury until a few years ago are now available in even the entry level car. 

Market Outlook of India’s Housing

Indian real estate will experience a bright perspective in the upcoming five years. Strong demand for housing is forecast given the reasons provided beforehand. Consequently, this is likely to enhance prices and boost the construction process.

It is anticipated that premium and luxury housing will grow at a fast pace. As economic growth and urbanization increase in the country the commercial real estate market will likely grow. 

Challenges and Opportunities

India’s housing industry faces its own set of difficulties. The main challenges facing the market include:

High Interest Rates: As interest rates in India rise sharply, some individuals find it harder to purchase a home.

Lack of Affordable Housing: While the government works hard, there is still an overwhelming deficit of affordable houses in India.

Regulatory Hurdles: Adhering to the framework of housing regulations can be complicated and take up much time.

In the Indian housing industry, numerous possibilities for expansion exist. The priority placed on creating affordable housing by the government presents new options for both developers and investors. With the expansion of the middle class comes increased interest in premium real estate.
