🏗️ Infrastructure: The Game-Changers

• Expressway corridors shine:

  • Dwarka Expressway: Prices doubled over 2020–24, with a further 40–60% increase expected by 2030 (Shakuntla Group).

  • Jewar Airport area: Land near the upcoming Noida International Airport near Jewar has doubled since 2019, projected to rise an additional 30–50% by 2027 (Estate NCR).

🏘️ Market Segmentation & Trends

• Ultra-luxury segment booming:H1 2025 saw a 2,550% jump in sales of homes priced above ₹50 crore; Gartner’s DLF “Dahlias” project alone sold 173 units (~₹1,400 cr) in 9 weeks (The Financial Express).

• Growing prominence of high-end and mixed-use:

  • Luxury homes (₹2 cr+) now account for 57% of residential sales, up from 43% last year (News9live, The Financial Express).

🔮 Outlook Summary

Segment	Outlook for 2025
Residential Prices	Projected +6–10% YoY, premium corridors likely higher
Sales Volumes	Modest recovery in Q2 and beyond thanks to new launches
Premium & Luxury	Strong, driven by HNI/NRI demand
Affordability	Pressured—first-time buyers feel pinch
Commercial/Office	Continued growth; H1 2025 saw record leasing (7.2 MSF) (The Financial Express, Shakuntla Group)
Retail/REITs	Uptick in retail investment and REIT interest expected

✅ Strategic Takeaways

1. Focus on connectivity hubs (e.g., Dwarka Expressway, Jewar, RRTS stations) to ride infrastructure-led appreciation.

2. Consider luxury/premium mid- to long-term: Strong demand from affluent urban buyers and NRIs, high-quality developers.

3. Watch affordability and loading trends: Higher pricing and space inefficiencies may limit mid-segment demand.

4. Explore commercial & mixed-use: Rising coworking, offices, and retail may offer stable yields via REITs.

Final Word

Delhi NCR is likely to remain on a strong growth path in 2025, albeit with some recalibration. While residential price growth may decelerate from 2024 levels, infrastructure expansions and premium segment resilience offer sustained upside for strategic investors—especially around transit corridors and mixed-use hubs.
