India’s real estate sector is expected to witness balanced and sustainable growth in 2026, with housing, office and logistics segments each playing a distinct role in shaping the market outlook. After a moderation in residential sales during 2025, the sector is now entering a phase of stability driven by end-user demand and disciplined project launches.
The housing market saw a slowdown in unit sales over the past year, largely due to rising property prices and affordability pressures. However, overall market value remained resilient as developers focused on quality supply and premium offerings. In 2026, residential demand is expected to stabilize, supported by steady income growth, improved buyer confidence and continued interest in mid-segment and lifestyle housing.
Commercial real estate, particularly office spaces, is likely to remain a strong performer. Leasing activity continues to be driven by global capability centres, technology firms and flexible workspace operators. Demand is expected to stay firm as India strengthens its position as a global business and outsourcing hub.
The logistics and warehousing segment is also set for strong growth, backed by expanding e-commerce, manufacturing and supply chain transformation. Increased focus on efficiency and infrastructure development is making logistics real estate one of the most attractive investment avenues.
Overall, 2026 is expected to be a year of measured progress rather than rapid expansion. With stable economic conditions, infrastructure push and evolving demand patterns, India’s real estate market appears well-positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.
