India's branded luxury housing sector continues to grow, with the average price of these upscale homes reaching ₹8.81 crore nationwide. Among major cities, Pune stands out as the market where buyers pay the highest premium, shelling out 44% more than for comparable residential projects. This trend underlines the increasing demand for branded residences, which combine luxury living with trusted developer reputations.

A recent analysis by CRE Matrix, a real estate data analytics firm, reveals that Delhi-NCR accounts for nearly half of the country’s branded luxury home supply, commanding 47% of the market share. In 2025, developers launched 3,181 branded residential units, a sharp rise compared to the 1,015 units introduced in 2024.
