thebalanced.newsIndia's Billionaire and Ultra-Wealthy Populations to Grow Amid Rising Luxury Real Estate Prices
India's billionaire population is projected to increase by 51 percent from 207 in 2026 to 313 by 2031, according to Knight Frank. This growth outpaces China and the US, driven by wealth creation in technology, industrials, and capital markets. India's ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) are expected to rise from 19,877 to 25,217 by 2031, making it the sixth-largest UHNWI population globally. Concurrently, luxury real estate prices in Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru are rising rapidly, reducing the amount of property purchasable for one million USD despite rupee depreciation.
