Commenting on the same, Sahil Vachani, Vice Chairman & MD of Max Estates said, “The Indian residential real estate market is set for strong and sustained growth in the coming years, fueled by improved affordability, an increasing proportion of the upper mid-income and high-income population, and a notable shift in consumer preferences towards premium, high-quality living spaces.

The Delhi NCR region is experiencing significant infrastructure upgrades, including advancements in airports, road networks, and mass rapid transport systems. These developments are accelerating urbanization and enhancing the region’s appeal as a highly desirable destination for both residential living and professional opportunities.

In the first nine months of FY25, we exceeded our revised full-year guidance, achieving pre-sales booking value of INR 5,200 crore.

We remain deeply focused in the NCR region with the intention to continue to truly enable “real well-being in the real estate space.”

Our strong business development strategy has enabled us to build a well-diversified portfolio of 17 million sq. ft. within Delhi NCR across residential, commercial and mixed use development opportunities, positioning us for sustained growth in the years ahead.

As a part of our growth trajectory, we continue to seek new growth opportunities and scale up by adding at least 3 million sq. ft. every year to our current portfolio which will enable us to diversify our footprint in Delhi NCR across commercial and residential asset classes through both JDA’s and outright acquisitions.”
