Housing Prices Rise 59% Since 2021 Amid Higher Land Costs and Construction Pressures
Housing prices in India's top seven cities rose 59% between 2021 and 2025, outpacing a 34% increase in construction costs, according to Anarock Research. Rising land values, which increased 50-130% in key regions like NCR and Bengaluru, significantly contributed to price inflation alongside construction expenses. Infrastructure improvements and demand-supply dynamics also influenced costs. Additionally, the West Asia conflict is adding fresh pressure on construction costs, complicating project feasibility and home pricing.
