These projects span governmental partnerships, societal initiatives, and developer-led efforts.

Mumbai is at the forefront, with dilapidated buildings being continuously modernised. Key micromarkets like Dadar, Prabhadevi, Bandra, Worli, Vile Parle, Juhu, Malabar Hill, and Mahalaxmi are witnessing this trend.

According to Anarock, in the Delhi-National Capital Region, ageing colonies and housing societies are being transformed. Surat is advancing with urbanisation and Smart City initiatives, while Bengaluru is upgrading old residential areas, driven by sector demand and the need for enhanced urban infrastructure.

This trend is revitalising urban landscapes nationwide.

JLL reported that 15-25 per cent of property registrations in Mumbai come from redevelopment, with over 3,500 projects approved by May 2024.
