“The Indian residential sector is unlikely to forget 2023, which was nothing less than phenomenal at every level. Housing sales breached the previous peak levels of 2022 and remain robust in 2024. These sales statistics - along with RERA-related commitments - have encouraged developers to stay focused on completing existing inventory. If we consider the period between 2017 and 2023, 2023 saw the maximum annual unit completions, with over 4.35 lakh homes gaining RTM status across the top 7 cities,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman - ANAROCK Group.

“Data also indicates that more than 5.31 lakh units are scheduled to be completed across the top 7 cities in 2024," said Puri.

“With housing demand remaining high, developers are prioritizing project completions. Moreover, many large developers have also taken over the task of bringing many stuck or completely stalled projects by other players to completion. They are now also committed to completing their own previously launched projects before launching new ones,” he added.
