Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru have emerged as the growth pillars of India’s premium real estate sector, as consultancy firm NKlusive reported a record ₹8,123 crore worth of assets under management (AUM) across the country in the last 12 months. The milestone reflects the rapid evolution of metropolitan housing markets amid a steady shift towards larger, design-led, and more sustainable living environments.
In Kolkata, the company secured its strongest performance yet, managing projects valued at ₹2,920 crore a 150% jump from the previous year. The portfolio includes four premium and luxury developments spanning over 21 lakh sq ft, with three located in the city and one along the Hooghly river in Howrah. Industry experts noted that Kolkata’s renewed infrastructure push, improved riverfront access, and the rise of mixed-use real estate models are encouraging a new class of premium buyers seeking both convenience and community-centric design.
Hyderabad’s real estate momentum continued unabated, with NKlusive signing pacts to market 27 lakh sq ft of residential space valued at ₹2,745 crore. Analysts attribute this growth to expanding employment corridors in areas like Kollur, Mokila, Puppalguda, and Adibatla, supported by a robust technology ecosystem and large-scale public infrastructure investments.A senior urban analyst observed that Hyderabad’s balance of affordability and quality has made it a top destination for first-generation homebuyers and investors alike, particularly in the ₹1.5–4 crore range.
In Bengaluru, the consultancy now manages a portfolio worth ₹2,478 crore across 21 lakh sq ft, covering emerging zones such as Sarjapur, Budigere Cross, Nandi Hills, and Hennur. Developers are focusing on integrated residential formats that combine housing with green spaces and essential services a trend accelerated by hybrid work culture and growing environmental awareness.A senior company executive said the performance across the three cities demonstrates “strong investor confidence in India’s urban property resilience”. The firm plans to sign projects worth nearly ₹15,000 crore in 2025–26, aligning with expanding metropolitan corridors and the rising demand for integrated, eco-conscious housing solutions.
The surge in high-value developments across these metros reflects a deeper transformation in India’s housing market one driven by urban migration, lifestyle aspirations, and the need for sustainable, liveable environments. As metro economies diversify, industry leaders believe that inclusive and climate-resilient urban planning will increasingly define the next phase of real estate growth.
