India’s real estate market is witnessing a notable shift as Tier-2 cities have overtaken major metros in land transactions for the first time, according to data from Cushman & Wakefield. The trend highlights the growing importance of smaller Indian cities in the country’s future real estate development.
The increase in land deals reflects rising interest from developers and investors beyond established metropolitan markets. Factors such as improving infrastructure, expanding employment opportunities, urbanisation and comparatively lower land costs are supporting real estate activity in emerging cities.
The shift is also significant for residential and commercial development. As businesses expand into new markets, demand for housing, retail spaces, offices and other supporting infrastructure can create additional opportunities for developers.
The changing land market indicates that real estate growth is becoming more geographically diversified. While major metros continue to remain important markets, Tier-2 cities are increasingly attracting development activity and institutional interest.
For property buyers and investors, the trend makes it important to track infrastructure projects, employment hubs, connectivity and planned development in emerging cities rather than focusing only on established metropolitan markets. However, real estate performance can vary significantly between locations, and individual projects should be evaluated on their own fundamentals.
