Indian cities have emerged as global leaders in luxury housing, with Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi securing top positions in Knight Frank's Prime Global Cities Index (Q2 2025). Bengaluru ranked 4th worldwide with a 10.2% annual rise in prime property prices, followed by Mumbai at 6th with 8.7%, and Delhi at 15th with 3.9%. All three outperformed the global average of 2.3%, bucking a broader slowdown in prime housing markets. Knight Frank credits strong demand, limited supply of luxury homes, and sustained wealth creation for the momentum. The rankings highlight resilient urban real estate, boosting investor confidence in India's property market.

According to the Knight Frank report, Bengaluru has been ranked 4th globally, with a significant 10.2% annual appreciation in the prices of its prime residential properties. This places it ahead of many established international markets, underlining its appeal as a tech and financial hub. Mumbai follows closely at the 6th position, showing a healthy 8.7% appreciation, while the nation's capital, Delhi, holds the 15th spot with a 3.9% increase.
The global index, which tracks the movement of prime residential prices across 46 cities worldwide, reveals that Indian cities are outperforming the global average price growth, which was a modest 2.3% in the 12 months leading up to June 2025. This strong performance is particularly notable given the global cooling trend in prime residential price growth, which averaged 3.5% in the first quarter of 2025.
The report's findings suggest that several factors are driving this momentum in India. Knight Frank attributes the strong performance to a combination of robust demand, a limited supply of high-end properties, and sustained wealth creation within these major urban centers. These elements are collectively signaling a healthy and resilient real estate market, attracting both domestic and international investors. The impressive rankings are seen as a reflection of growing investor confidence and the fundamental strength of the Indian economy.
