India's Real Estate Market Set for $1 Trillion by 2030, Says CREDAI-Anarock Report

October 3, 2026 | India's real estate sector is projected to grow from about $600 billion in 2025 to $1 trillion by 2030 and nearly $5.8 trillion by 2047, according to a report released at CREDAI's 24th National Convention (NATCON 2026) in Kolkata. The report, "Indian Real Estate: Growth Trajectory, Sectoral Outlook and Geopolitical Crosscurrents," was prepared with Anarock Research.

The Kolkata pitch
West Bengal Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta used the opening session to invite developers and investors, saying Kolkata and the state offer major development opportunities because upgrades are needed at every level. The convention brought together developers, investors and policymakers, with a focus on AI, technology, infrastructure and workforce skills.
The reality check
Kolkata is not yet a leading sales market. Anarock's Q3 data showed Kolkata housing sales fell 4% to 3,980 units, while the Mumbai region and Bengaluru together accounted for 48% of sales across the top seven cities.
What it means for readers
For buyers and investors, the report points to broader growth beyond the metros. For developers, it signals where policy and capital may head next, including emerging cities in eastern India.
