India’s branded residences market has reached about ₹92,000 crore, the highest value in the Asia-Pacific region, while the number of projects in the country, led by Delhi-NCR, is expected to increase from 47 to 85 by 2028. The next wave of development is expected to expand beyond the major metros, according to The Landscape of Branded Residences in India, Edition 3, a new report by NOESIS Hotel Advisors.

Among the metros, Hyderabad leads, with about 1,200 new branded homes expected to be added by 2028 across seven projects.

Branded residences market tripled in a year
The report tracks 38 projects operational or launched across 10 markets, totalling 10,452 homes. Supply rose 3.1 times in 2025, from 1,015 to 3,181 units. The 5,156 homes launched since January 2025 double the previous seven years combined.
Annual transaction value grew 49% a year between 2019 and 2025, with ₹47,278 crore transacted since 2018. This year is on course to match the 2025 record, the report noted.
Non-hospitality brands hold 73% share, hotel brands catching up
India is fashion and design-led while the world is hotel-led. Non-hospitality brands hold 73% of Indian branded units against about 20% globally, the report noted.
NOESIS expects hotel brands to close that gap quickly over the next 24 months, as most leading international and Indian hotel groups have begun evaluating branded residence projects in India over the last year, it noted.
Demand is deepening
India now has 19,877 ultra-high-net-worth individuals, up 63% since 2021. Homes above ₹1 crore made up 71% of top-seven-city sales in the first half of 2026, up from 62% a year earlier.
Buyers have already absorbed 68% of all branded supply launched to date. The report finds the strongest sell-through where the brand tier, the operator and the measured premium are matched to the site, it noted.
“Indian buyers have answered the big question. They will pay for a brand and they buy faster. The next 24 months will take branded living to cities and leisure destinations that have never had a branded home. The opportunity now is to build for lifetime value. A logo opens the door. Great feasibility, the right partner and service run well for thirty years keep it open,” Nandivardhan Jain, founder and CEO, NOESIS Hotel Advisors; Curator, TBRS, said.
