Recession? 59 ultra-luxury homes worth INR 4,754 Cr sold in 2024, 17% yearly surge

Notwithstanding its spiralling prices, the ultra-luxury residential segment in India continues to thrive, with 2024 setting new records for sales and total value. According to ANAROCK data, 59 ultra-luxury homes (priced above INR 40 Cr each) were sold across the top seven cities for a collective sales value of approximately INR 4,754 Cr. This marks a 17% increase in sales value compared to 2023, which saw 58 homes sold for INR 4,063 Cr.

Mumbai retained its dominance, accounting for 52 of the 59 ultra-luxury deals in 2024, representing an 88% share. Among these, at least 16 transactions were valued above INR 100 Cr, primarily concentrated in prime areas such as Worli, Malabar Hill, and Pali Hill.

Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group, highlighted the sustained demand for such properties despite rising prices. “HNIs and ultra-HNIs continue to invest in trophy residences for personal use and as long-term investments. The 17% annual increase in sales value underscores this demand.”

Key Market Trends

Apartments vs. Bungalows: Of the 59 deals in 2024, 53 were for ultra-luxury apartments, while only six were bungalows. Apartments clearly remain the preferred choice for ultra-HNIs.

Deals Above INR 100 Cr: 17 homes priced over INR 100 Cr were sold in 2024, contributing INR 2,344 Cr to the total sales value.

Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad: Delhi-NCR recorded three ultra-luxury transactions, including one home priced above INR 100 Cr in Gurugram. Bengaluru and Hyderabad each reported two deals over INR 40 Cr.

A Retrospective on 2022-2023

The ultra-luxury housing segment witnessed a significant post-pandemic boom:

2022: 13 deals worth INR 1,170 Cr were closed, with Mumbai contributing 11 transactions.

2023: 58 homes worth INR 4,063 Cr were sold, with Mumbai accounting for 53 deals (91% share).

Between 2022 and 2024, at least 130 ultra-luxury homes worth nearly INR 9,987 Cr were sold, reinforcing the segment's growing appeal.

The ultra-luxury housing market continues to defy economic challenges, driven by a strong appetite among HNIs and ultra-HNIs. With Grade A developers expanding their portfolios in this segment, 2025 is poised to sustain this growth trajectory.

A Hindu alternative to Valentine's Day? 'Shiv-Parvati was first love marriage in Universe'

The other day, I was searching on Google a quote on Maha Shivratri which I wanted to send to someone, a confirmed Shiv Bhakt, quite close to me -- with an underlying message to act positively instead of being negative. On top of the search, I chanced upon an article in, imagine!, a Nashik Corporation site which offered me something very unusual. I don't know who owns this site, for there is nothing on it in the About Us link. It merely says, the Nashik Corporation site "is an educational and news website of the municipal corporation. Today, education and payment of tax are completely online." It goes on to add, "So we provide some of the latest information about Property Tax, Water Tax, Marriage Certificate, Caste Certificate, etc. So all taxpayer can get all information of their municipal in a single place.some facts about legal and financial issues that different city corporations face, but I was least interested in them." Surely, this didn't interest...

Beyond the 'plum' posting: Why the caste lens still defines bureaucratic success

Following my recent blog on former IAS bureaucrat Atanu Chakraborty’s sudden exit as non-executive chairman of HDFC Bank, a few colleagues from the Gujarat cadre — mostly those I interacted with during my Gandhinagar stint (1997–2012) as the Times of India representative — reacted rather sharply. Most of them sent their responses directly on WhatsApp, touching upon on the merits and demerits of Chakraborty’s controversial move. One former IAS officer, a Dalit, however, went further, raising a broader question: why do some officials like Chakraborty secure plum post-retirement assignments, while others are overlooked?

Blaming RTE, not underfunding: Education groups hit back at NITI Aayog working paper

A preliminary working paper by Arvind Virmani, economist and member of the Government of India think tank NITI Aayog, has concluded that the Right to Education (RTE) Act — enacted to guarantee free and compulsory schooling for children between six and fourteen — has actually worsened learning outcomes rather than improved them. The paper, published in March 2026 and reported by The Print on 16 April, has drawn sharp pushback from education rights advocates, who argue it builds a politically motivated narrative against constitutionally guaranteed entitlements.
