As India’s economy continues to stabilise and become more mature, the real estate sector is entering a phase where measured growth matters more than rapid expansion.
Investors and homebuyers are looking for reliability and long-term value, more than transparency, while making real estate a key indicator of broader business confidence. Against this backdrop, 2026 can be shaping up to be a pivotal year.
According to Mahesh Agarwal, Managing Director of Purti Realty, the coming year will be shaped by trust, disciplined execution, and evolving buyer expectations.
“India's real estate prospects for 2026 are influenced by stability, momentum, and a distinct move towards quality,” Agarwal says, highlighting how the market is maturing beyond volume-driven growth. He adds that this shift reflects a more informed buyer base that prioritises long-term value over short-term gains.

He believes, "There is considerable confidence among homebuyers and investors, fuelled by enhanced transparency, stronger regulations, and the ongoing growth of organised developers. The demand for residential properties will stay strong, with high-end and mid-range homes driving expansion as buyers emphasise design, sustainability, and reliable delivery. "
Beyond housing, commercial real estate is also expected to remain a strong investment avenue. Office spaces, logistics hubs, and data centres are likely to attract sustained interest from long-term investors. Agarwal points out that these asset classes are helping strengthen real estate’s position as a stable and reliable investment option in a changing economic environment.

Outlook for 2026
Looking ahead, Agarwal stresses that developers who succeed in 2026 will be those who stay focused on execution, customer needs, and sustainable growth. “The successful approach for developers will be focused execution, customer-oriented strategy, and sustainable expansion,” he notes.
For Purti Realty, the focus remains on building projects that are well-connected and environmentally responsible, but also aligned with the expectations of a new generation of Indian consumers. Agarwal sums up the year ahead by saying, “We view 2026 as a year of potential — rooted in trust, directed by quality, and reinforced by innovation.”
