Gurugram leads NCR residential launches and buyer demand
Infrastructure and branding drive sustained market confidence
Pricing discipline signals a mature, stable housing market
At the core of the residential growth within the National Capital Region (NCR) stands Gururgram, anchoring this growth. Gurugram has consistently outperformed the neighbouring markets, be it in terms of demand, pricing, premium housing, or even in securing buyer confidence. As the Delhi NCR housing market evolves countrywide, Gurugram’s leadership is being reinforced by a culmination of infrastructure expansion, calculated supply, strong demand and sustainable interest from investors.
The region has recorded 14,248 new residential unit launches in Q4 of 2025, which is a sharp 39 per cent rise over the previous quarter and nearly 2.5 times that of the previous year. This data was recently released by Cushman & Wakefield in their Delhi NCR Residential Marketbeat Q4 2025 report. The highlight of the report remains how Gurugram is the driving force of this upsurge in the Delhi-NCR market. From its total share, Gurugram has contributed 50 per cent of the quarterly launches. Meanwhile, Noida shared 29 per cent while Ghaziabad accounted for 16 per cent.
Primary Growth Catalyst
As per the report, the growth in the city is mainly due to the pace of infrastructural development. Adding to this are the peripheral developments, such as the Dwarka expressway and New Gurugram. In the buyer's mind, connectivity, luxury living and reputed projects take the most space. Aakash Ohri, MD & CBO, DLF, adds to this, “Gurugram continues to anchor residential demand in NCR, driven by buyers across India and NRIs seeking quality developments from trusted brands in India. Despite evolving market cycles and variability in new launches across quarters, higher transaction values reflect sustained buyer confidence. Strong sell-outs in Gurugram reaffirm that well-planned products remain in demand.”
The Dwarka Expressway has emerged as a hotspot for new residential opportunities, attracting a large number of projects from developers. Dwarka Expressway-linked projects accounted for almost 27 per cent of the supply. These upcoming infrastructure corridors are reshaping the buyer preferences.
Another defining feature of Gurugram’s residential market is the increasing preference for well-branded projects by renowned developers. People gravitate towards developers who have a proven track record of safe delivery with guaranteed long-term value creation. The sell-outs in well-planned projects continue to hold a strong foothold in the quarterly variations.
Pricing Discipline
The current phase of NCR’s residential market is characterised by pricing discipline and calculated supply from the developers, unlike previous spikes. The launch prices in the Delhi NCR region were approximately Rs 15,600 per sq ft in Q4 of 2025, which accounted for a 4 per cent increase on a quarter-on-quarter basis. Gurugram’s stable pricing reinforced the buyers to invest in the market, and it also reflects a more mature and stable market. “Measured supply and pricing discipline further indicate a maturing market positioned for stable growth. The entry of developers from other cities and regions also reinforces Gurugram’s position as a highly attractive and competitive residential market going forward,” adds Ohri.
This practice has translated into earning buyer trust, which is a key indicator of long-term market stability. Developers are also recognising demand outside of the luxury and high-end segment, rather than just flooding the market with a luxurious inventory.
As the NCR transitions into phases of stable and user-focused growth, Gurugram has the ability to supply the demand in a balanced manner. The city has continued to dominate the market not just in scale but in functionality and maturity.
