Moreover, Delhi’s property prices soared by 10.5% in the last year, finding fifth spot on the property consultant‘s index. A significant jump from previous Index’s 17th rank. This highlights how India's key property markets—Mumbai and New Delhi have witnessed a surge in house prices, with annual GDP growth exceeding 8%.

Contrary to the financial and national capitals of India, Bengaluru witnessed a drop when compared with the previous report and landed at 17th spot with 4.8% annual growth.

“With annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth running at over 8%, strong economic growth across India has boosted housing prices in the main cities, particularly in Delhi and Mumbai, as our results confirm,” Knight Frank said in a report released on June 13.
