Mumbai, 21 January 2026: With stronger balance sheets,
disciplined underwriting, and a clearer demand outlook, developers and various business
entities once again committed long-term capital to land in 2025. According to
ANAROCK Research, while the number of land transactions was little short of
that in 2024, the total volume recorded in all of 2025 surpassed that of 2024.
Developers collectively acquired thousands of acres across key metros and
emerging corridors, reflecting renewed confidence in housing demand, commercial
absorption, and infrastructure-led growth.
“Latest ANAROCK Research data indicates that the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region (MMR) led the activity in number of land deals in
2025, with 32 deals spanning over 500+ acres of land,”
says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “This accounted for over
13% of the total land transacted across India. Residential, commercial, data centres,
industrial and plotted developments, are among the planned developments in the
region. In total, there were at least 126 separate land deals for over 3,772
acres closed in 2025 across the country.”
“Importantly, land buying was not limited to luxury residential projects
- integrated townships, plotted developments, industrial parks, data centres,
and mixed-use formats also dominated acquisition strategies in 2025,” adds
Puri.
