Pune real estate: 1 BHK supply hits record low as buyers seek spacious apartments, upgrades increase
This marks a sharp decline from 2017–18, when 1 BHK units comprised over 40% of the market. In contrast, the share of 2 BHK apartments has increased, driven by growing demand from two key buyer segments: first-time homebuyers seeking slightly larger homes and existing homeowners looking to upgrade.
The report also notes that while the launch ratio of 1 BHK units has declined, launches of 2 BHK, 3 BHK, and 4 BHK apartments have gone up, even as overall sales have softened over the past year. Developers attribute this trend to sustained demand in the 2 and 3 BHK segments, fueled by both new buyers and upgraders.
Pune real estate market clocks 88000 launches in 2024-25
The Pune real estate market reported the launch of over 88,000 units in 2024-25 (July to June) compared to over 99,000 during the same period in 2023-24.
According to the report, of the over 88,000 launches in 2024-24, only 8.7% were in the 1 BHK segment.
1BHKs accounted for a significant 48.1% share of new launches between July 2017 and June 2018. The share fell to 42.2% in 2018-19, 35.3% in 2019-20, and 26.9% in 2020-21, the report said.
By July 2021-June 2022, the share stood at 21%, before plunging to just 15.1% in 2022-23 and 14% in 2023-24. The latest data for July 2024 to June 2025 reveals that only 8.7% of new units launched were 1 BHKs, the lowest proportion seen in the eight-year period, the report said.
While the share of 1 BHK units has steadily declined, larger configurations have gained significant traction in the housing market over the past eight years, the report indicates.
Although consistently dominant, the share of 2 BHK units has fluctuated moderately, from 43.4% in 2017-18 to a peak of 54.9% in 2021-22, before easing to 48.19% in 2024-25.
The 3 BHK segment has witnessed a healthy rise, growing from just 5.5% of new launches in 2017-18 to 31.62% in 2024-25. The 4 BHK category has gradually expanded its presence, from a mere 0.4% share in 2017-18 to 4.15% in 2024-25, according to the report.
"Post COVID-19, young IT professionals, who had purchased 1 BHK apartments around 10 to 15 years ago, have upgraded to either 2 BHK or 3 BHK, and even first-time homebuyers are preferring 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments. Also, for real estate developers, profit margins are higher in larger apartments than in 1 BHK apartments. Hence, due to lower demand from homebuyers and lower supply from developers, 1BHKs are a rare sight today in Pune," said Rahul Ajmera, Pune-based developer at Vasupujya Corporation and a data analyst.

'1 BHK launches may not increase significantly despite sales going down'
Pune's residential real estate market recorded an 8% decline in annual home sales. According to the Gera report, sales fell from 93,737 units in June 2024 to 86,666 units in June 2025, even as average prices rose moderately by 7.3%.
The report attributed the drop in sales to a sticker shock effect, which made apartments less affordable.
Despite the decline, Rohit Gera, MD of Gera Developments, does not foresee a significant increase in the launch or sale of 1 BHK apartments in the Pune real estate market.

"People increasingly prefer larger apartments, especially after COVID-19, and this is evident from the rising share of 2, 3, and 4 BHK units in new launches, while the proportion of 1 BHK apartments has declined. In Pune, the average size of apartments has also grown over the past few years, even as the overall number of new launches has come down," Gera said.
"This trend has likely contributed to higher prices and a slowdown in sales. Looking ahead, I believe developers will need to boost the volume of new launches while reducing apartment sizes, " Gera said.
"However, this doesn't necessarily mean there will be a significant surge in 1 BHK launches in Pune, their share might only inch up to around 10%, if at all. Instead, I expect developers will focus on slightly reducing sizes across all configurations and increasing supply to help improve sales momentum," he said.

The report said the average size of apartments has increased by 25% over the last five years, from 966 sq ft in 2021 to 1,210 sq ft in 2025.
On the other hand, the average price of apartments has increased by 43% over the last five years, from ₹4,731 per sq ft in 2021 to ₹6,759 per sq ft in 2025. Therefore, the average ticket size has increased by 79%, from ₹45.69 lakh to ₹81.77 lakh, the report added.

Anil Ambani's Reliance Group charts next phase of growth with focus on defence, renewables
New Delhi: Anil Ambani 's Reliance Group will focus on defence, power and clean energy sectors to chart the next phase of growth that will train resources on innovation and value creation, it said on Sunday. Just as financial crime-fighting agency, Enforcement Directorate concluded searches at locations linked to the group as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering and siphoning of public funds, over 100 top leaders from its two listed firms -- Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power -- convened in Mumbai on Sunday to reaffirm their commitment to its ambitious growth roadmap. "After the unanimous approval by the Board of Directors of Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power , just a week ago by both boards to raise Rs 18,000 crore by way of equity and debt to fund growth across defence and aerospace and renewable energy sectors, the meeting reflected unity of purpose, renewed vigour and a shared resolve to deliver long-term value for stakeholders," the group said in a press statement. The two listed firms in separate statements earlier in the day stated that the action by ED has concluded and that the company and its officials have fully cooperated with the authority. "Action by ED has no impact on business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders of the company," they said. In the statement on the leadership meeting, the group said its two listed companies -- Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power -- are "nearly debt-free, have net worths of Rs 14,883 crore and Rs 16,431 crore, respectively, and have 50 lakh public shareholders, one of India's largest shareholder family." The leadership meet, it said, spotlighted high-growth verticals driving the group's future strategy. Reliance Infrastructure's focus will be on defence and aerospace, which includes plans to manufacture Falcon 2000 business executive jets in India for global markets in partnership with Dassault Aviation of France, strategic partnership with US-based Coastal Mechanics to establish MRO and overhaul hub in Maharashtra, partnership with defence manufacturer Rheinmetall AG of Germany, and strengthening strategic partnership with Diehl Defence of Germany for guided munition/terminally guided munition (TGM). The "aim (is) to rank among India's top three defence exporters -- strong commitment to the Indian defence markets and ' Make in India ' and 'Atmanirbhar' initiative of the Government of India," it said. In the power business, its electricity distribution utility BSES that services more than 53 lakh households, covering two-thirds population in Delhi, will focus on continued excellence in smart, sustainable power delivery and sourcing clean green energy for Delhi in the next five years. In the renewable energy space, the group is focusing on solar and battery storage. Reliance Power is focused on an operating portfolio of 5.3 GW. It has secured renewable energy projects of 3.3 GWh of solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, Asia's largest solar-plus-storage project. "Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities -- the spirit of the group's legendary and visionary founder, Padma Vibhushan late Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani, resonated throughout the discussion," the statement added. While Reliance Infrastructure also has interests in defence manufacturing and plays a key role in infrastructure development through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), including projects like the Mumbai Metro, Reliance Power has a total installed capacity of 5,305 MW, including the 4,000 MW ultra mega power project in Sasan, Madhya Pradesh.
