Mumbai Sees Highest May Property Registrations in 14 Years with 7% Annual Growth
Mumbai recorded 12,315 property registrations in May 2026, marking the highest for the month in 14 years and a 7% year-on-year increase, according to data analysed by Knight Frank India. Despite this growth, stamp duty revenue slightly declined by 1% to over Rs 1,051 crore due to changes in transaction mix. Month-on-month, registrations and revenue fell by 14% and 9%, respectively. Experts attribute the trend to sustained end-user demand and evolving market conditions in Mumbai's residential sector.
