Realty stocks in India gained momentum on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, driven by a combination of global optimism and the nearing of the Diwali festival, which is an auspicious period to buy a new home or property.
The Nifty Realty Index rose by as much as 3.5%, with Sobha, Prestige Estates Projects, Lodha Developers, and Godrej Properties leading the rally. The index is set for the biggest jump in four months, since June 6.
The latest Housing Sentiment Index Report indicated a rebound in buyer confidence, scoring 142, reflecting stronger demand in mid-market and affordable housing segments. This demand is supported by millennials, working professionals in stable sectors, rising incomes, and expectations of 6–10% property appreciation.
Institutional investments in Indian real estate have surged in recent months, with reports projecting significant capital inflows. India continues to attract real estate investment due to favorable government policies, strong economic fundamentals, and urban growth.
Expectations of stable or declining interest rates and robust housing sales as additional factors supporting the rally in the realty segment.
