While regional dynamics might lead to fluctuations in capital values, the overall outlook remains positive.”

After Delhi-NCR, Mumbai clocked sales of luxury homes in the price range of Rs 4 crore and above at 4,190 units in 2023, against 3,390 units a year earlier. Sales in Hyderabad touched 2,030 units in the reviewing period, from 1,240 units in 2022.
