In 2019, the average flat sizes in Delhi NCR, MMR, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune and Chennai was 1,145 sq ft, indicating a whopping 34 per cent six-year jump.
“Chronically space-constrained MMR saw the lowest average flat size growth in this six-year period,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group. “The average flat size in MMR was 784 sq ft in 2019 and increased by 8 per cent to 849 sq ft in 2024. From 2020 onward, the average size in MMR was the highest in 2024, at 849 sq ft,” he said.
"A deep-dive into the data shows that at 29 per cent, NCR saw the highest annual growth of average flat size – from 1,890 sq ft in 2023 to 2,435 sq ft in 2024," said Puri. "This surge is primarily attributable to the increased new luxury housing supply in the region over the last one year. Developers here are closely tracking and responding to demand, which is why NCR has seen significant new supply in the >INR 1.5 Cr price bracket. Size is one of the key defining characteristics of luxury homes," he added.
