In FY 2026, India saw 111 land deals covering over 2,994 acres, a decline from 143 deals in FY 2025. Despite this downturn, listed developers significantly increased their market presence, accounting for 49% of total deals, up from 40% the previous year. Notably, 54 deals were executed by these organized players, highlighting their resilience in a challenging market. Anuj Puri, chairman of real estate consultancy firm ANAROCK, noted that this shift underscores the growing dominance of larger developers, who are better equipped to navigate regulatory complexities and access institutional capital. Bengaluru led the way in land acquisitions with 17 deals for over 293 acres, while NCR saw 66% of its new unit supply come from listed and Grade A companies. The report also indicated that the share of listed developers in new housing supply across the top seven cities rose to 45% in FY 2026, up from 43% in FY 2025. As the market continues to evolve, developers may adopt a more cautious approach to new project launches due to global economic uncertainties and moderating housing sales.
