The increasing commercial development in Mumbai’s suburbs and peripheral locations signifies the presence of opportunities
for commercial growth in these areas. This, in turn, enhances economic activity within those regions. The improved
infrastructure not only enables the expansion of commercial developments but also facilitates better connectivity between
peripheral corridors and the economic center, leading to widespread development.
The 2023 Policy has undergone a transformation in alignment with global economic trends and the vision of the Maharashtra
government, with the overarching aim of boosting the performance of the Information Technology (IT) and Information
Technology Enabled Services (ITES) sector. The strategic drivers of the 2023 Policy encompass several crucial elements.
These include the establishment of a unified single window system catering to all segments of the IT and ITES industry, the
decentralization of IT and ITES activities across different regions of Maharashtra, the provision of additional floor space index
(FSI) for IT Parks, and a range of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives designed specifically for IT/ITES units and data centers. The
implementation of these drivers will pave the way for positioning Maharashtra as the preeminent technology hub of India.

• The years 2016-2018 witnessed the implementation of key policies and reforms such as RERA and GST, aimed
at introducing greater transparency in the real estate sector. However, these reforms initially faced some
challenges as developers needed time to adapt to the structural changes and new regulations. Consequently,
there was a noticeable slowdown in the residential market during this period
• While the residential market showed signs of recovery in 2019 following the shadow banking crisis of 2018,
this improvement was short-lived due to the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The
pandemic significantly dampened sales and resulted in a decrease in new project launches
• The residential market witnessed a resurgence in 2022 with phenomenal increase in both sales and launches
and the high growth momentum is continuing in 2024 as well
• Therefore, for the purpose of analysis, this report will consider the period from 2014 to 2016 and the post-

Final reflections
The city’s growth curve, creating opportunities for future expansion
• Real estate development in Mumbai had its origins in the southern parts of the city. By 2016, the centers of activity had
already shifted to the suburban markets in the north and east of Mumbai. The availability of land, improved connectivity and
the increasing demand for housing in these areas drove this shift.
• Though the suburban rail network provided north-south connectivity, east-west connectivity remained a challenge. To
support Mumbai’s fast-paced growth, several transit infrastructure networks connecting the suburbs to the main city areas
were initiated, resulting in perceptible northward and eastward growth of the city during 2016-2024
• Navi Mumbai which had started emerging as a leading residential market during 2014-2016, received a major boost during
2016-2024 with MTHL and Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1 starting operations and with the commencement of work for Navi
Mumbai airport. Thane too emerged as a popular residential destination backed by its improved infrastructure and ease of
connectivity with Mumbai core city areas. These two sister cities of Mumbai experienced robust residential launches and
sales and emerged as one of the front runners in property price appreciation
• The residential submarkets in the city provide opportunities across a wide price segment given the apartment sizes/
configurations they offer. While average sizes may be slightly smaller in core city areas, Gross Development value due to
higher per sq ft realization is quite high, offering attractive scale and returns.
• While lack of greenfield development opportunities in core city areas has resulted in the city’s east and northward
expansion, redevelopment is a key entry strategy for developers in core city residential markets. The existing and upcoming
infrastructure initiatives in these city locations also play a key role in redevelopment opportunities arising in these densely
populated residential submarkets.
• Given the current velocity in infrastructure development comprising Coastal Road and metro network expansions, the Island
City and Suburbs both offer good opportunities across the value-volume spectrum. As of June 2024, Mumbai stands as one
of the leading contributors to pan India launches and sales. It is also the largest residential market in terms of sales value
which is expected to surpass INR 1.35 lakh crore in 2024 - a record high for the city. We expect this momentum to continue
with Mumbai’s residential sales value projected to surpass INR 2.0 lakh crore in 2030 at a CAGR of ~6.8%.
