India is rapidly cementing its position as a global force in the branded residences market, with the Savills Branded Residences 2025–26 Report placing the country among the world’s Top 10 markets for such projects. As branded living accelerates worldwide, India’s growing affluent base, maturing luxury appetite, and rising global brand interest are propelling it into the league of established hotspots like the US, UAE, Thailand, and Vietnam.

India Now a Major Growth Engine in Asia-Pacific

The report notes that branded residence supply in the Asia-Pacific region has grown 55% over the past five years, with India named as one of the key contributors alongside Vietnam and Thailand.

This surge reflects rising domestic wealth, maturing luxury demand, and increasing interest from global hospitality and lifestyle brands.

Rising Premiums in Indian Cities

Savills classifies India’s major metros—Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru—under the ‘Emerging Cities’ category, which historically shows stronger premium potential compared with mature global markets.

Globally, branded residences command an average 33% price premium. In India, developers collaborating with top international brands are already seeing strong absorption and higher buyer trust.

India–Dubai: The Strongest Luxury Corridor

The report highlights Dubai as the world’s #1 branded residence hub, with 64 completed projects and 87 more in the pipeline.

Dubai’s tax-friendly environment, global connectivity, and premium lifestyle ecosystem attract significant investment from wealthy Indians—making this one of the most active cross-border luxury real estate corridors globally.

India’s Moment in Global Luxury Living

The Savills report makes one thing clear: the branded residences market is becoming more global, more diversified—and India is right at the centre of this shift.

With a rapidly expanding affluent class, rising demand for quality living, and growing global brand interest, India is set to play an increasingly influential role in shaping the next decade of branded residential development worldwide.
