Land Acquisitions in Real Estate Sector Witness a Marginal Decline in 2025-26 Fiscal
The real estate sector experienced a slight downturn in land acquisitions during the last fiscal year, with a total of 2,994 acres sold, according to consultancy firm Anarock. This decline is notable, especially considering that listed entities were responsible for nearly half of these acquisitions, signifying their growing dominance in the market.
Key Statistics:
- 111 land deals finalized in 2025-26 fiscal
- 143 deals totaling 3,071.14 acres in the previous fiscal, 2024-25
Chairman of Anarock, Anuj Puri, highlighted the competitive advantage listed developers have due to better access to capital and transparency. This gives them a significant edge in the market.
Tier II-III Cities Witness Significant Activity
Cities such as Vadodara, Amritsar, and Nagpur witnessed significant activity from major players, including Godrej Properties and Lodha Developers, focusing on housing projects.
Continued Demand and Acquisitions
With reports indicating continued robust demand, JLL India noted nearly 900 acres acquired for Rs 18,000 crore in early 2026 for residential and commercial use.
