Unlocking the potential of real estate
The year 2023 stands out as a record-breaking year for real estate across all asset classes reflected by the strong performance indicators of both demand and supply. As the real estate sector continues its journey on a steep growth curve, developers are building a robust supply pipeline by investing in acquisition of land across the country. A total of 1,947 acres of land valued at INR 32,203 crore in 111 separate deals were acquired by real estate developers in 2023 as compared to 1,603 acres in 2022 (valued at INR 18,112 crore), up by 21% Year-on-Year (Y-o-Y). The land acquired has a development potential of ~176 million sq. ft.
The average transacted value of land has touched INR 16.5 crore per acre in 2023, up by 46% as compared to the previous year. This staggering increase is attributable to higher land transactions in Tier 1 cities and established prime micro markets. In addition, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the most expensive real estate market in the country doubled its share in total land area transacted in India from 7% in 2022 to 15% in 2023 and contributed significantly to this increase in per acre transacted value.
