101+ Land Deals for Approx. 2,989 Acres Closed in FY-24 Across Indian Cities

Mumbai, 21 April 2024: The residential segment continues to drive the Indian real estate market, which also reflects in the land deals it is generating. Amid all-time high residential demand, several large and listed developers and other entities continued to snap up land. Other than residential, commercial, retail, industrial and logistics & warehousing are also driving prime land deals in key locations across India.

ANAROCK data indicates that various developers and entities sealed approx. 101 separate land deals in fiscal year 2023-24, cumulatively accounting for nearly 2,989 acres across the country. In contrast, FY-2022-23 saw 88 land deals for approx. 1,886 acres closed across various cities.

“Interestingly, out of the total land deals in FY-24, over 83 deals for about 1,135 acres were closed in the top 7 cities alone”, says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “The remaining 18 deals, accounting for over 1,853 acres, were sealed in various tier 2 and 3 cities like Ahmedabad, Ayodhya, Jaipur, Nagpur, Mysuru, Ludhiana, and Surat. Tier 2 & 3 cities have once again emerged as redoubtable growth engines, thanks to their rapidly improving infrastructure and growth opportunities.”

Among land deals in the top 7 cities, NCR topped out with 29 deals for 313+ acres, followed by MMR with 19 deals for approx. 157+ acres. Notably, in terms of total land area, Bengaluru saw 14 deals for 490+ acres transacted – the highest among all top 7 cities.

The number of deals in FY 2024 has risen significantly – from 88 deals for 1,886+ acres in FY23 to approx. 101 deals for 2,989+ acres in the current financial year. In terms of total area, around 58% more land has been purchased in the FY 2024 as compared to FY 23.

“At approx. 4.93 lakh units, residential sales across the top 7 cities have created a new peak in FY2024,” adds Puri. “In particular, large and listed developers have seen very high sales, and it makes sense for them to buy land across prominent urban micro-markets. Resultantly, the previous financial year saw some very prominent land deals taking place.”
