Tier II/III cities gaining ground
Interestingly, smaller cities like Ahmedabad, Mysuru, Panipat, Amritsar, Coimbatore, and Indore featured prominently in the top land deals of H1 2025. This decentralisation of land investment away from India's core metros hints at a maturing market and a more geographically distributed economic development.
Between 2021 and 2024, the NCR region led in terms of deal count (92) and cumulative value (~₹26,100 crore), while MMR accounted for the single largest land deal—worth ₹5,200 crore—and the highest total land area (1,745 acres). Hyderabad also saw one of the largest transactions of 600 acres in this period.
The report also highlighted the growing prevalence of joint development agreements (JDAs), which saw a 150% year-on-year increase in 2024, underscoring the industry's pivot towards collaborative models that optimize capital and manage risk more efficiently.

Jane Street Reenters Indian Markets After $567 Million Deposit: Sources
India's markets regulator has allowed Jane Street to restart trading after the US high-frequency trading firm deposited $567 million, two sources aware of the matter said on Monday. The regulator sent an email to the firm on Friday in which it said that following the deposit of the money, the restrictions imposed by its interim order are no longer applicable, said the sources, who declined to be named because they are not authorised to speak to the media. In an interim order issued on July 3, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had barred the firm from buying and selling securities in the Indian market and froze $567 million of its funds. Jane Street could resume trading if an equivalent amount was deposited in an account that gives the regulator rights over the money until its investigation is complete, the order stated. Email queries sent to Jane Street and SEBI were not answered immediately. The country's stock exchanges, the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Ltd, have been directed to closely monitor the activity of the US-based quant trading firm, the sources said. The two exchanges are yet to facilitate Jane Street's buying and selling of Indian securities, said one of the sources. "While the firm has been allowed to resume trading in India, it has given an undertaking to SEBI that it will not trade in options. The firm also does not intend to trade in cash till it has explained its trades to SEBI," the second source said.
