At a time when India’s housing market is beginning to show signs of caution, Kolkata has delivered a different story. While several major cities saw sales soften in the first quarter of 2026, Kolkata moved against the trend and posted growth. That alone makes it worth watching. In a market where rising prices and affordability...
At a time when buyers are watching EMIs closely, developers are tracking demand, and investors are trying to understand the next move in real estate, the Reserve Bank of India’s latest policy decision has brought one important thing back into focus: stability.

India’s real estate market is sending two very different signals at the same time. On one side, the housing segment is showing signs of cooling after a long period of strong momentum.

At first glance, that looks like a simple growth story. But the more important detail is this: the number of registered property...
When a developer that had recently delivered record sales begins reporting weaker bookings, the numbers deserve a closer look. That is exactly the case with Signature Global.

For years, lakhs of families in Delhi’s unauthorised colonies have lived with a familiar kind of uncertainty. They owned homes, lived in them, improved them, and invested their savings into them, yet full legal clarity often remained out of reach. That is why the Centre’s latest move on regularisation matters so much. By easing norms...
Mumbai’s property market has just produced a number that deserves more attention than it is getting. In FY 2025-26, developers paid ₹11,626 crore to the BMC through premiums and development charges, making builders the civic body’s biggest revenue source for the year.
