At 17%, Navi Mumbai leads 2025 realty boom: Where prices are rising fastest
Sunainaa Chadha NEW DELHI
The Indian real estate market continues its upward trajectory in 2025, led by a surge in Navi Mumbai, where home values jumped 17.4% in the first quarter of the year, according to eXp India's analysis of NHB Residex data.
Residential real estate has emerged as a preferred long-term investment, particularly in Tier-1 and emerging Tier-2 cities.
The Top Performers
Among the cities clocking the highest growth this quarter:
The analysis shows that Navi Mumbai is currently driving property market performance across India, with average property values increasing by a notable 17.4% so far this year alone.
Strong infrastructure, economic development, and connectivity continue to drive demand in these markets.
According to Sam Chopra, President of eXp India:The surge in cities like Navi Mumbai and Gurugram is no coincidence. These hubs are where residential demand is aligning with economic and infrastructural momentum.'
Markets That Declined
However, not all cities saw upward movement. A few regions recorded a dip in prices:
While some regions like Raipur and Patna are experiencing short-term declines, the broader market shows resilience, with most regions seeing positive growth year-on-year.
What it means for investors:
With equities showing volatility and inflationary pressures continuing, property investments are once again gaining attention from Indian investors — especially in metro-adjacent regions that promise long-term growth and rental yield potential.
Markets like Navi Mumbai, Noida, and Bhubaneswar offer potential for value appreciation, while cities showing decline may present an opportunity for bargain deals — provided long-term fundamentals hold strong.
Navi Mumbai is currently driving property market performance across India, with average property values increasing by a notable 17.4% so far this year alone.
Bhubaneswar has also posted impressive quarterly growth at 8.5%, followed by Gurugram and Noida with increases of 7.5% and 7.0%, respectively.

‘No formal talks on F-35 jets yet': India clarifies after Trump tariff announcement
The Indian government on Friday clarified that there have been no formal discussions yet on the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to India, despite a reference in the India-US joint statement earlier this year. In a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said: 'The US will undertake a review of its policy on releasing fifth-generation fighters (such as the F-35) and undersea systems to India. No formal discussions have been held as yet on this issue.' This statement comes in the backdrop of PM Narendra Modi's February visit to US, during which the two sides elevated defence and strategic cooperation, but without finalising key hardware acquisitions like the F-35. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) was also asked whether any proposal had been made by the US regarding the F-35, and about the role of American diplomats in reducing tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Singh noted that diplomatic conversations were held with various countries, including the US, between April 22 and May 10. 'All our interlocutors were given a common message that India's approach was focused, measured and non-escalatory,' Singh said. He added that on May 9, India had conveyed its position clearly to US Vice President J D Vance. 'With specific reference to the United States, it was conveyed to Vice President J D Vance on May 9 that India would appropriately respond if Pakistan launched a major attack.' Singh clarified that the decision to cease military action was taken bilaterally between India and Pakistan. 'The discussion to cease military action took place directly between India and Pakistan through the existing channels of communication between the two-armed forces, and it was initiated at Pakistan's request.' Responding to a question on third-party mediation, Singh reiterated New Delhi's long-standing policy: 'As regards any proposal for third-party mediation, our longstanding position remains that any outstanding issue with Pakistan will be discussed only bilaterally. This has been made clear to all nations, including by the Prime Minister to the US President.' He emphasised that the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership is underpinned by mutual trust and respect for sovereignty: 'The India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership is anchored in mutual trust, shared interests, goodwill and robust engagement between our citizens. The partnership has also benefited from growing strategic convergence and cooperation.' Singh also reaffirmed that India remains committed to strategic autonomy despite deepening ties with Washington. 'The Government of India closely evaluates all its external partnerships, including those in the defence and strategic domains, through the prism of India's national interest and commitment to strategic autonomy.'

Datanomics: Market access vs mass survival in unequal India-US fields
The US move on tariff is seen as its pressure tactics on forcing New Delhi to sign a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) with Washington Shikha Chaturvedi Listen to This Article United States (US) President Donald Trump announced imports from India would face a 25 per cent tariff over the existing most-favoured-nation rates, citing India's high trade barriers and 'strenuous and obnoxious' non-monetary restrictions. This move is seen as a pressure tactic to force India into signing a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). However, one of the major bones of contention in the BTA negotiations is agriculture. The US is demanding greater access to Indian agri markets. In the US, farmers receive direct income payments. In India, support is largely through subsidised inputs, public procurement, and food distribution schemes — offering basic

Leather, textile, shrimp exports to be hit hard by 25% US tariff: Experts
Domestic export sectors such as leather, footwear, textiles and shrimp will be hit hard by the imposition of the 25 per cent tariff by the US, industry experts say. "Quick estimates suggest that India's goods exports in FY 2026 may come down by 30 per cent from $ 86.5 billion in FY 2025 to $60.6 billion in FY 2026," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said. The duty, announced this week, will come into force from August 7 (9.30 am IST). These will be over and above the exiting standard import duty in the US. The 25 per cent tariff will replace the existing 10 per cent baseline tariff. The modified tariff is one per cent less than the 26 per cent levy announced by President Donald Trump on April 2. A White House executive order mentions that tariffs may be reduced once countries make a deal with the US. The executive order also clarifies that goods in transit until October 5, 12:01 am eastern daylight time (EDT), or 09:30 am IST, will be subject to a 10 per cent tariff, provided that such goods have entered into transit before August 7 12:01 am EDT. The sectors, which would bear the brunt of 25 per cent duty include textiles/ clothing (10.3 billion), gems and jewellery (12 billion), shrimp ($ 2.24 billion), leather and footwear ($ 1.18 billion), chemicals (2.34 billion), and electrical and mechanical machinery (about $ 9 billion). According to think tank GTRI, the duty on all Indian-origin goods could severely hit the country's exports to America. Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) Director General Ajay Sahai said that the order provides relaxation for goods in transit and those loaded on ship for final sailing to the US by August 7. Goods cleared for consumption in the US by October 5 will also not be subject to reciprocal tariffs, thus providing some relief to exporters of goods already shipped or likely to be shipped this week, he said. In 2024-25, the bilateral trade between India and the US stood at $ 131.8 billion ($ 86.5 billion exports and $ 45.3 billion imports). Sudhir Sekhri, Chairman, AEPC (Apparel Export Promotion Council), said: "We request immediate government intervention to offset this huge setback. "Exporters have their back against the wall and will have to sell below cost to keep their factories running and avoid mass layoffs." Indian shrimp exporters face an unprecedented new challenge in the US market, which contributes close to 48 per cent of their exports, Crisil Ratings Senior Director Rahul Guha said. Exporters are hoping that early finalisation of the India-US bilateral trade agreement will help in dealing with the tariff challenges. The negotiations between India and the US are still going on for an interim trade deal, though there will be no compromise on the red lines with regard to duty concessions on agriculture items, dairy, and genetically modified (GM) products, sources said. The two countries are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). They are aiming to conclude the first phase of the pact by fall (October-November) this year.
