Expert View
Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock Group, said: "Land acquisition is increasingly becoming both capital-intensive and regulation-driven. Listed developers have a clear edge over unorganised or smaller players, thanks to easier access to institutional capital and transparent balance sheets. Despite the broader market slowdown, listed entities closed 54 land deals in FY2026, nearly matching the 57 deals from FY2025."
New Housing Supply
Listed and Grade A developers combined accounted for 45% of new housing supply across top 7 cities in FY2026 (up from 43% in FY2025). In NCR, their share was 66% , highlighting homebuyers' rising prioritisation of reliability and brand equity.
