Report Shows Private Investors Favor Luxury Homes Over Affordable Housing in India
A Vestian research report reveals that private institutional investors in India increasingly prefer luxury and premium housing, which accounted for 56% of residential sector investments from 2011 to September 2026. This shift contrasts with the government's ongoing promotion of affordable housing, whose share in new launches dropped below 10% in early 2026 from over 50% pre-COVID. Factors such as rising construction costs, changing buyer preferences, and demand for higher-quality homes have driven this trend toward luxury properties offering stable capital appreciation and higher rental yields.
