NCR Luxury Housing Sees Rising NRI Influence

2026-05-21

NCR’s luxury housing market is witnessing changing buyer preferences as non-resident Indians (NRIs) and globally exposed homebuyers increasingly influence residential design, amenities and project delivery standards.

According to ANAROCK Research, average luxury housing prices in Delhi-NCR increased nearly 72 per cent between 2022 and 2025, rising from around Rs 13,450 per sq ft to over Rs 23,000 per sq ft. Knight Frank India also reported a 19 per cent year-on-year increase in capital values across NCR during 2025, as per industry reports.

Developers across Gurugram, Dwarka Expressway and Noida are increasingly incorporating lifestyle and service-led elements such as concierge-managed maintenance, wellness amenities, smart home systems and integrated community planning into premium developments.

Mitul Jain, Managing Director, SPJ Group, said globally exposed buyers are placing greater emphasis on transparency, delivery timelines, digital engagement and structured customer communication, particularly as many NRI transactions are being completed remotely.

Sandeep Chhillar, Founder and Chairman, Landmark Group, said buyer preferences are shifting towards managed communities where privacy, convenience and lifestyle coexist, influencing architecture and planning decisions.

Prateek Tiwari, Managing Director, Prateek Group, said international exposure is shaping expectations around layouts, wellness-focused design and community management, particularly in Noida’s luxury housing corridors.

Ashwani Kumar, Pyramid Infratech, said luxury buyers are increasingly benchmarking NCR projects against global residential markets, making design quality, hospitality-led services and delivery predictability central to purchase decisions.

Industry stakeholders said improving infrastructure, including Dwarka Expressway connectivity and the upcoming Noida International Airport, is further supporting demand across emerging luxury micro-markets.
