₹2.4 trn worth of housing plots launched in last 3.5 years: PropEquity
Housing plots worth ₹2.44 trillion have been launched in past three and half years because of higher demand post-Covid pandemic, according to PropEquity. Real estate data analytic firm PropEquity data showed that nearly 470,000 residential plots have been launched by developers between January 2022 and May 2025 across 10 tier-I and tier-II cities. These cities are Hyderabad, Indore, Bengaluru, Chennai, Nagpur, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Mysore, Raipur and Surat. "The estimated launch value of the residential plots in 10 tier I-II cities between 2022 and 2025 (May) is approximately ₹2.44 trillion," PropEquity Founder and CEO Samir Jasuja said in a statement on Tuesday. The demand for residential plots has risen in the past few years as this asset class is more liquid with potential of higher appreciation than apartments, he added. Jasuja said many prospective customers prefer plots as they desire to customise their living space. As per the data, the supply of residential plots in these 10 cities fell 23 per cent annually in 2024 to 1,26,556 plots from 1,63,529 plots in the preceding year. PropEquity said 45,591 residential plots have been launched during the the first five months of 2025. "For developers, plots generate quick cash flow as they involve faster sales and less upfront investment as compared to apartments," the company said. The weighted average launch price of residential plots in these 10 cities rose 27 per cent annually in 2024 to ₹3,679 per sq ft, which translates to ₹33,111 per square yard and Rs 39,586 per square metre. Commenting on the report, Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder and MD of Stonecraft Group, said, "The surge in plotted development across India's cities reflects a growing desire among people for ownership and personalisation." Yashank Wason, Managing Director, Royal Green Realty, said, "Indore's rise among the top three plotted development markets is a testament to its evolution into a dynamic real estate destination." Sam Chopra, President and Country Head, eXp Realty India, said the launch of 470,000 plots in these 10 cities in just over three years reflects a decisive shift in buyer behaviour, from built-up units to land ownership.

A Forest Flourishes: The Miyawaki Method and Its Impact on Urban Life in Hyderabad
On World Environment Day, as the world reflects on the urgent need for environmental conservation, Hyderabad's Shamshabad suburb offers an inspiring example of nature-led urban transformation. There is a revolution, based on nature and sustainability, in the realm of urban living. Shamshabad, a quiet suburb of Hyderabad, is witnessing something remarkable—a thriving, dense forest brought to life using the Miyawaki method on a 60-acre stretch of land. This visionary project strives to achieve some green heights, but it redefines construction and urban living while trying to preserve nature. An Innovative Way of Moulding Concrete into Nature Stonecraft Group drives this change, as Woods Shamshabad real estate development breaks the norm of what real estate is. This is not yet another gated community, but Hyderabad's first large-scale compressed forest based on the Miyawaki method, which speeds up growth. Here, 450,000 saplings of 186 native species are planted and are 'densely packed' as if they are undergoing natural evolutionary processes. This simulates decades of growth into mere years. A New Approach to Real Estate Woods Shamshabad focus on aesthetics, but not exclusively. Every enclosed residential plot of approximately 1800 square yards comes with its own 'living green wall'. The dense cluster of trees surrounding the plot not only reduces noise and purifies the air but also creates a naturally cooler microclimate, sustained by the grass-covered landscape. This drastically reduces the air-conditioning needed, improves air quality, and, better yet, allows nature to bloom in a previously hopeless situation. Sustainability does not get dull even under the forest canopy. Monsoon runoff is harvested by rainwater harvesting systems, while solar-powered rooftops reduce utility costs. Rainwater harvesting systems capture monsoon runoff, while solar-powered rooftops slash utility costs and reduce the community's carbon footprints. Where Nature Meets Modern Living For Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder & Managing Director of Stonecraft Group, the vision behind Woods Shamshabad was clear, "We wanted to go beyond just building homes. Our goal was to create living habitats—where nature and humanity co-exist in perfect harmony. Woods Shamshabad is proof that sustainability and luxury can beautifully complement each other. This development is proof of our promise for environmental sustainability. This is the day we all share an equanimity in taking care of our planet as it approaches World Environment Day. This expansion provides the ideal environment for residents to relax, while maintaining low air pollution, increasing biodiversity & ensuring natural resources are conserved. Stonecraft Group believes that every project should be a part of the environment." And the development doesn't just provide access to green spaces—it is fully integrated with Hyderabad's urban infrastructure. The location of Woods Shamshabad is particularly strategic, as it sits within 20 minutes of the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and has direct access to the Outer Ring Road. Woods Shamshabad also sits adjacent to the upcoming RRTS station, allowing residents effortless commuting to the IT hubs and frequent travelling via air. However, what stands out above the rest not accessible features of the development is the nature life found within—Woods Shamshabad possesses a total of 141 different bird species ranging from kingfisher to koels, additionally accompanied by 14 mature heritage trees which were saved from the Hyderabad Secretariat, which serve as a linkage between the urban setting of the city and its intended greener visions. These trees mark the entrance of the area. Furthermore, an ecology centre on the site measures biodiversity levels, confirming that the forest is free to foster life in all its forms. Investing in the Future The market has responded with enthusiasm. Land values in Shamshabad have steadily climbed since 2020, and Woods Shamshabad has gained recognition for its eco-conscious approach to development. Investors see the value in Stonecraft Group's commitment to sustainability, whether through biophilic home designs or innovative golf courses crafted in collaboration with global sports management experts. At a time when urban expansion often comes at nature's expense, Woods Shamshabad offers a new vision—one where development enhances, rather than diminishes, the environment. A Legacy Beyond Today Woods Shamshabad is not only a location, but rather is considered a movement. It seeks to develop areas where the land, air and water flourish. Residents do not simply buy houses in these areas but capture a vibrant ecosystem that will be preserved for the future. With spring, new buds blossom, and with every passing year, the community gains strength, the air purifies, and the forest deepens. Preservation and development will enable the fostering of new living ecosystems. Woods Shamshabad aims to provide unparalleled facilities which will allow effortless fosterage and enable enhancement of infrastructure. In order to guarantee that the forest will continue to thrive and sustain life in all of its forms, an ecology center on the property actively monitors biodiversity.
