Among the top 7 cities, land-scarce MMR saw the most action with 24 land
deals for 433+ acres, followed by Bengaluru with 15 land deals for approx. 182

Of the total land deals in H1 2025:

· One deal each for
data centres and semiconductor equipment manufacturing, with approx. 2.39 acres
and 25 acres, respectively
Mayank Saksena, MD & CEO - Land Services, ANAROCK Group, says, "The
post-pandemic years from 2021 onwards have seen a relentless spate of land
deals. Between 2021 and H1 2025, over 11,858 acres have been transacted in 423
deals across the country for various developments. The scale and sophistication
of these deals, which account for a combined development potential of 841 Mn
sq. ft., underscore the real estate market’s maturation - and the strategic
importance of land as a cornerstone resource.”
“The emergence of tier II/III cities as significant contributors to the
national land transaction ecosystem is also noteworthy," adds Saksena.
"These markets, once considered peripheral to mainstream real estate
activity, now represent an inalienable component of the Indian real estate
growth horizon - challenging the historical metro-centric model and inducing a
healthier geographic distribution of economic opportunity.”
