Nuvama Forecasts Slower Housing Price Growth Amid Premiumisation Trend in India by 2026
Nuvama's report indicates India's housing market is transitioning from volume-driven growth to a price-driven premiumisation phase, with housing price growth expected to moderate to mid-single digits by 2026. In May 2026, housing sales value rose 17% year-on-year, led by southern cities like Bengaluru and Chennai, while sales volumes grew 6%. Launches declined across most cities except Hyderabad. Rising average prices and larger unit sizes have increased ticket sizes, though structural challenges such as affordability and limited mid-income supply persist.
