India's art market experienced a significant boom in 2025, with record auction sales and increased investor interest. M.F. Husain's 'Gram Yatra' sold for over USD 10 million, setting a new benchmark. Modernists like Tyeb Mehta and V.S. Gaitonde also achieved record prices. Experts attribute the growth to India's economy, rising private wealth, digital platforms, and international recognition, despite global market slowdowns. A reduced GST on art further boosted sales.
