A new study by Grihum Housing Finance reveals that the rise of micro-markets across Delhi-NCR is fuelling real estate price appreciation, especially in the affordable housing segment. Key drivers include renewed post-pandemic interest, migration trends, and government schemes like PMAY.
According to the study, over the past two decades, floor rates have risen 267 per cent, from Rs 1,500 per sq ft in 2005 to Rs 5,500 in 2024. In the same period, land rates surged 492 per cent, from Rs 1,300 to Rs 7,700 per sq ft. The sharp increase highlights strong capital appreciation in Delhi鈥檚 emerging locations.
Backed by banks and housing finance companies (HFCs), the region has expanded its housing supply to support the 鈥淗ousing for All鈥� mission. Emerging zones include Kakrola, Rajapuri, Mahavir Enclave, Chander Vihar, Palam, Amberhai Village, and Bamnoli, among others.
