India's luxury real estate market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by strong demand from Non-Resident Indian (NRI) investors. The sector is on track for its third consecutive year of record-breaking sales, with projections exceeding INR 5.1 trillion in the top seven cities for 2024. Cities like Mumbai, Gurgaon, and Bangalore are seeing particularly high absorption rates for ultra-luxury residences. NRIs view luxury properties as a stable, appreciating asset class amid stock market volatility, often using them as a long-term wealth preservation strategy. This trend aligns with global investment patterns and signals a shift in investment strategies, with high-value property transactions becoming increasingly popular among both individual buyers and institutional investors.
