Mumbai Records Highest April Property Registrations in 14 Years with Modest Stamp Duty Growth

Mumbai's real estate market recorded approximately 13,800 property registrations in April 2026, marking the highest April volume in 14 years and a 6-13% year-on-year increase. Despite this growth, stamp duty collections rose modestly by about 1% year-on-year, reflecting a shift in transaction sizes. Month-on-month, registrations and stamp duty collections declined by 13% and 27%, respectively, consistent with seasonal trends. Experts highlight sustained end-user demand and the market's long-term resilience.
