The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority has released its Half-Yearly Report for 2026, presenting encouraging indicators of sustained growth across the state’s real estate sector. The report highlights higher project registrations, increased housing supply, rising capital investment, and continued success in protecting homebuyers’ interests through efficient dispute resolution and recovery mechanisms.

The findings reaffirm Uttar Pradesh’s position as one of India’s fastest-growing and most transparent real estate markets, driven by strong regulatory oversight, improving infrastructure, and increasing investor confidence.

143 New Projects Registered in First Half of 2026

During January-June 2026, UP RERA registered 143 new real estate projects, compared to 134 projects during the corresponding period in 2025.

The highest number of registrations was recorded in Lucknow (37), followed by Gautam Buddh Nagar (27), Ghaziabad (19), Agra (10), Mathura (10), Varanasi (7), Jhansi (3), Barabanki (3), Bareilly (3) and Prayagraj (3).

These projects propose construction of 46,049 residential units with a cumulative investment of ₹31,952 crore, significantly higher than the 35,082 units proposed during the first half of 2025.

The continued increase in project registrations and housing supply reflects growing confidence among developers and investors in Uttar Pradesh’s policy environment, regulatory framework, and infrastructure-led growth.

Lucknow Emerges as Major Growth Centre Beyond NCR

The report highlights a significant diversification in Uttar Pradesh’s real estate landscape. While the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to attract large-scale investments, particularly in the premium and luxury housing segments, cities outside NCR are witnessing accelerated expansion of residential and commercial projects.

Lucknow the state capital has emerged as the state’s leading centre for real estate as from new project registrations,with 37 projects during the first half of 2026, demonstrating the city’s growing appeal among developers and homebuyers.

However, Gautam Buddh Nagar continues to lead in terms of overall investment and housing supply owing to the larger scale of projects and the concentration of luxury and super-luxury developments. Ghaziabad, despite registering fewer projects, also attracted substantial investments and a high number of residential units, reflecting sustained demand within the NCR market.
