Delhi-NCR’s real estate market continues to showcase the changing aspirations of urban India, blending infrastructure growth, modern lifestyle needs, and strong buyer confidence. According to a recent report by Cushman and Wakefield, the region recorded 10,245 new housing unit launches between July and September 2025 (Q3 2025). Among these, Gurugram accounted for a massive 87% of the total, showing its dominant position in the NCR’s housing landscape.
Although the quarter saw a 12% rise in new launches compared to the previous quarter, there was a 37% decline compared to the same period last year. This mixed performance suggests that while market activity remains strong, it is also stabilizing after an intense period of growth. Experts believe that the trends in Gurugram highlight how developers are focusing their efforts on areas that promise high demand and long-term value.
A closer look at the report shows that mid-end housing continues to lead the segment, accounting for more than half of all new launches. The high-end category contributed 26%, while luxury housing made up 22%. Interestingly, the luxury segment saw a 30% drop in new supply compared to last year, which could mean that developers are becoming more cautious in response to the changing demand.
On the ground, most of the construction and new projects are concentrated in New Gurgaon and along the Dwarka Expressway corridor, which together represent over 40% of total fresh supply. These areas are becoming real estate hotspots because they offer better connectivity to Delhi and Indira Gandhi International Airport, upcoming social infrastructure, and relatively affordable land rates.
For homebuyers, these zones provide an opportunity to buy spacious homes with modern amenities at prices that still have good appreciation potential. For developers, investing in these corridors is a smart move, as they are expected to be the center of NCR’s next phase of urban expansion.
According to Kapil Chug, Vice President of Sales at RISE Infraventures, Gurugram’s overwhelming share of new launches proves its strong position in India’s housing market. He said, “Gurugram accounting for nearly 87% of new launches highlights the city’s unmatched dominance, but it also raises a concern about regional balance. Developers are clearly following demand where corporate offices, lifestyle facilities, and infrastructure meet. While Noida and Greater Noida are growing steadily, Gurugram continues to hold the highest level of investor and end-user trust.”
Chug added that the overall Delhi-NCR market remains India’s housing sector leader, but the region should also aim for diversification to avoid overdependence on a single city.
Several factors continue to make Gurugram the most preferred real estate destination in NCR. The city’s strong infrastructure, proximity to corporate hubs, and continuous connectivity improvements are the main reasons behind this growth. New expressways, expanded metro lines, and planned road projects have made even the city’s outskirts accessible and attractive for both developers and buyers.
Moreover, rising property prices in central areas are encouraging both developers and homebuyers to move towards outer zones such as Dwarka Expressway, Sector 104, and New Gurgaon. These areas offer larger properties, better facilities, and value for money, all while staying well-connected to Delhi and major employment zones.
Dr. Vishesh Rawat, Vice President and Head of Marketing, Sales & CRM at M2K Group, explained that Gurugram continues to lead Delhi-NCR’s housing growth. He said, “Among the city’s emerging corridors, the Dwarka Expressway has attracted the most attention. In places like Sector 104, buyers are looking for homes that offer privacy, comfort, and modern living, but also remain close to the city’s core. The interest here is not only due to lifestyle benefits but also strong investment potential.”
Rawat added that with ongoing social infrastructure development, consistent price appreciation, and active sales, Dwarka Expressway will continue to be one of NCR’s top property choices.

Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director at HCBS Developments, also highlighted that Gurugram’s strong numbers reaffirm its place as the heart of NCR’s real estate. “The 10,245 new housing units launched in Q3 2025 underline the region’s healthy growth, with Gurugram taking the largest share. Within Gurugram, the Dwarka Expressway continues to dominate new projects because of its world-class infrastructure, smooth connectivity to Delhi and IGI Airport, and rapid construction progress. This corridor is not just boosting supply but also witnessing strong demand, proving it to be NCR’s most promising real estate hub,” he said.
Experts believe Gurugram’s rise is not accidental but a result of years of planned infrastructure investments and steady urban growth. The presence of multinational companies, luxury retail spaces, and expanding road and metro networks makes the city highly desirable.
While the overall NCR market remains active, Gurugram’s concentration of projects highlights the need for a balanced regional development strategy. Noida, Greater Noida, and Faridabad are showing potential, but their share of new launches remains comparatively low. Analysts suggest that with better connectivity, industrial growth, and infrastructure investments, these areas too can attract larger housing demand in the future.
For now, Gurugram continues to set the benchmark for housing activity in the National Capital Region. With its mix of mid-range, premium, and luxury projects, the city caters to a wide range of buyers — from first-time homeowners to high-end investors — ensuring its continued dominance in India’s real estate story.
