2.78 lakh homes completed in 2021, over 3.85 lakh to complete in 2022: ANAROCK

Mumbai, February 21, 2022: Despite the cataclysmic second Covid-19 wave in H1 2021, approx. 2.78 lakh units were completed across the top 7 cities in 2021, against over 2.14 lakh units in 2020, according to latest ANAROCK Research data. Of the total completed homes in 2021, the maximum completions were in NCR with approx. 86,590 units – almost 84% more than in 2020 when approx. 47,160 units were completed.

• In MMR, approx. 70,490 units got completed in 2021, against 54,720 units in 2020
• Pune saw approx. 46,090 units completed in 2021, against 40,840 units in 2020

• Kolkata saw over 11,620 units completed in 2021, against 11,920 units in 2020.

Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group, says, “Our data also indicates that 3.85 lakh units are scheduled to be completed across the top 7 cities in 2022. Given that the construction activity across most cities was, and will hopefully remain, least impacted during the ongoing third wave, most completions in 2022 may be as per schedule. Certainly, developers are committed to complete previously launched projects before launching new ones.”
