Luxury housing market and pharma deals
India’s ultra-luxury housing market saw one of its strongest years on record in 2025, with wealthy individuals and entities spending over ₹7,100 crore on 51 marquee residential transactions. Of this, properties worth about ₹1,530 crore in Mumbai had direct links to buyers from the pharmaceutical sector, according to data collated by Zapkey.
