The Luxury Paradigm: How India’s Metro Cities Are Redefining Ultra-High-End Real Estate Investment Returns

India’s luxury real estate sector has entered an unprecedented golden age, with metropolitan markets delivering exceptional returns that rival—and often exceed—global luxury property destinations. The luxury housing segment, defined as properties priced at ₹4 crore and above, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth, recording an extraordinary 85% year-on-year surge in H1 2025, with approximately 7,000 units sold across the top seven cities.

This represents not merely a market correction but a fundamental shift in India’s wealth creation narrative, positioning luxury real estate as the preferred asset class for the country’s expanding cohort of 85,698 High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and 191 billionaires.
