[ecis2016.org] Nearly 54 per cent of the housing supply in the MMR, since 2013, has been in the sub-Rs 80 lakhs category, with developers increasingly turning towards the peripheral regions of the megapolis, says a report by ANAROCK Property Consultants
Between 30 and 35 per cent of new housing launches in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have been in its emerging suburbs, states a report by ANAROCK Property Consultants. The MMR’s western and central peripheral regions, have witnessed more than 90 per cent of the launches within the affordable and mid-segment, priced at less than Rs 80 lakhs, the report said. This shift underscores a major evolutionary change in Mumbai’s real estate market, which was in previous years dominated by high-end and luxury housing. Overall, since 2013, nearly 54 per cent of the supply in the MMR came in the sub-Rs 80 lakhs category, with the remaining additions falling in the categories above Rs 80 lakhs.

“Over the last few decades, the city has evolved from an industrial hub to a service sector-driven destination. Mumbai has witnessed rapid development and seen expansion of its limits with all the industries slowly and gradually moving to the adjoining areas of Greater Mumbai. Rapid agglomeration led to the expansion of Greater Mumbai to Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) which houses Greater Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane city and the two peripheries, namely, western peripheral suburbs and central peripheral suburbs. The MMR is one of the biggest real estate markets in India. It contributes nearly 25 per cent of the overall supply across the top seven cities. Varied developments across all real estate categories ranging from affordable to ultra-luxury, make the MMR stand out from the rest, as far as real estate developments across the country is concerned. Amidst the transforming real estate sector in the MMR, developers are moving north and east, to cater to the rising demand and thus, peripheral suburbs are emerging as the most prominent destinations where affordability is high and the dream of owning a house can easily be turned into a reality” said Anuj Puri, chairman, ANAROCK Property Consultants.

“This report clearly illustrates how rising property prices in Greater Mumbai, are leading to a natural housing demand progression towards the peripheral areas.

Due to the expansion of city limits from Greater Mumbai to the peripheries, more than 1.8 lakh units since 2013, have been launched in the western and central peripheral regions,” Puri added.
