Mumbai Property Registrations Reach 14-Year May High with 12,315 Units in 2026
Mumbai recorded 12,315 property registrations in May 2026, marking the highest number for the month in 14 years and a 7% year-on-year increase, according to data from the Maharashtra Department of Registrations and Stamps analysed by Knight Frank India. Despite this growth, stamp duty revenue slightly declined by 1% year-on-year to over Rs 1,051 crore, attributed to a shift in transaction mix. Month-on-month, registrations and revenue fell by 14% and 9%, respectively, reflecting some sequential moderation amid sustained residential market demand.
