Despite rising land prices in prime metros like MMR and Bengaluru, developers continued to target high-potential parcels, driven by strong residential absorption, infrastructure projects, and demand for alternative asset classes such as data centres and logistics.
The trend reflects a strategic shift toward integrated, large-scale developments rather than standalone luxury projects. Industry experts view 2025’s higher land volume as a positive signal for sustained real estate growth in 2026 and beyond.
