The demand remains steady, both for new projects and ready-to-move-in properties in key locations that offer good connectivity and proximity to social infrastructure. Our IRIS index, which measures the high-intent, high-volume property search trends in 42 key Indian cities, shows that Delhi NCR is amongst the top-three cities witnessing high interest in property purchase,  suggesting  active traction for property buying.” 

Ms. Sood further added, “There has also been a significant increase in new property supply in the mid to luxury segment, demonstrating the strong developer confidence in the market.”
