India’s Housing Market Shifts Sharply Toward Premium Homes

India’s homebuyers are increasingly choosing more expensive and spacious homes.

In early 2026, homes costing more than ₹1 crore made up most residential sales.

Sales of very expensive homes also grew strongly.

Kolkata saw a major increase in luxury housing during April, May, and June 2026.

Buyers are looking for good construction, trusted developers, large spaces, and lifestyle facilities.

Many people also like plots because they can build or change their homes later.

Areas outside Kolkata’s traditional center are attracting attention because they have more land and improving connections.

Sushil Mohta says developers must earn buyers’ trust while creating homes that match their changing expectations.
