Gurugram now accounts for 43% of NCR's residential sales and 45% of new launches, but civic infrastructure across its older sectors is struggling to keep up with the pace of growth.
Gurugram accounted for 43% of NCR's residential sales and 45% of new launches in Q2 2026, according to JLL data. Residential capital values rose 10% year-on-year, the strongest growth of any NCR market in the quarter. The scale was already visible through 2025 too. Anarock recorded roughly 29,500 launches and 24,400 sales in Gurugram that year, 48% of all NCR launches and 42% of all sales, cementing the city's position as the region's largest residential market by a wide margin.
Gurugram's housing identity has typically been shorthand for luxury, but the market has broadened well past that label. Buyer activity now spans Dwarka Expressway, Golf Course Extension Road, New Gurugram, Manesar and Sohna Road, corridors JLL's Q2 data confirms are now genuine concentrations of sales rather than areas waiting to be discovered.
Dr Gautam Kanodia, Founder of KREEVA and Kanodia Group, put it directly: "Buyers continue to seek luxury, but they are also evaluating connectivity, surrounding development, amenities and the quality of the overall living environment. This is helping newer corridors attract serious demand."

Infrastructure investment is the common thread tying these newer corridors together. Kapil Chugh, VP at Rise Infraventures, framed Gurugram as increasingly "a market of scale" capable of supporting both luxury residences and a wider band of aspirational housing simultaneously. "That breadth is important because infrastructure and employment are opening up new residential catchments," he said.
Ashish Vijarania, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Pyramid Infratech, added that demand is "no longer confined to a few established luxury locations," with more micro-markets now participating in the city's growth.
Multiple developers quoted in this reporting pointed to the upcoming festive season as a period likely to accelerate momentum further, with fresh launches expected to meet buyers who are typically more active during this stretch of the year. That's a familiar pattern in Indian real estate, but the breadth of corridors now competing for that festive-season demand is what's genuinely new about this cycle.

Here's what none of the sales and launch data above actually addresses: whether Gurugram's civic infrastructure can keep pace with growth at this scale. We weren't able to access the specific reporting we'd hoped to draw on for this angle, so rather than guess at its contents, we've pulled from our own separate research instead. A 2025 Tribune report on Gurugram's older HSVP sectors found population growth of roughly 60% over six years against just 4% expansion in water, sewerage and electricity infrastructure over the same period, with residents in sectors like 17, 15, 14, 31, 30 and 40 reporting regular water and power shortages.
A separate GMDA survey has previously found close to 25% of the city facing erratic or low-pressure water supply. None of this is new information, but it's the part of Gurugram's growth story that rarely gets airtime alongside the sales figures, and it's worth weighing against any decision to buy in a corridor still building out its basic civic backbone.
