Sales Surge in Kolkata’s Premium Housing Market, Strong Shift Toward South & East Corridors, says Nklusive

New Delhi, February 12, 2026: NKlusive, a premier real estate consultancy specializing in premium, luxury, and uber-luxury residences across India, has released its (CY25) report, covering projects in the INR 1.9 crore to INR 5 crore segment. The report reveals that demand in the city’s premium category remained resilient and visibly stronger, with sales, supply, and absorption all recording year‑on‑year growth.

According to the report, Kolkata’s premium realty market expanded from 26 residential projects in CY24 to 36 live projects in CY25, driven by the launch of 10 new developments. Total marketable supply in the segment rose to 4,291 units in CY25, with 1,940 new units introduced during the year, reflecting a 14 per cent year‑on‑year increase in supply. South Kolkata emerged as the dominant hub, accounting for 58 per cent of the city’s premium supply, followed by East Kolkata at 20 per cent, underscoring a clear south‑east corridor of growth for high‑end buyers.

Kolkata’s premium market also saw a healthy rise in sales volumes and absorption. Marketable supply of 3,731 units in CY24 translated into 1,355 units sold (36 per cent of supply), while in CY25, 1,666 units were sold out of 4,291 available units, taking the sold share to 39 per cent. This translated into a 23 per cent year‑on‑year growth in sales alongside a 10 per cent increase in unsold inventory. Pricing trends remained broadly stable with an upward bias, signaling end‑user driven, rather than speculative, market behavior.

The report highlighted standout performances by leading developers who played a pivotal role in shaping Kolkata’s premium housing momentum during CY25. Ambuja Neotia reinforced its position as the market leader with the launch of Ambuja Utpalaa along the Bypass–Ruby Connector, which witnessed exceptional Day-1 absorption and strong repeat-buyer participation, reflecting deep-rooted brand trust and execution credibility. Godrej Properties marked a decisive entry into the Kolkata premium segment with Godrej Blue on B.L. Saha Road, leveraging its pan-India brand equity, innovative payment structures, and pricing authority to split demand across South Kolkata. Meanwhile, Srijan’s Townsquare in New Town continued to outperform despite being the highest-priced project in its micro-market, driven by its location in Action Area 1, consistent absorption, and strong appeal among high-income end-users.

Commenting on the report, Pawan Kumar Agarwal, Managing Director, Nklusive stated “The steep increase in absorption, increased percentage of sales in H1, and steady price performance all indicate that Kolkata’s market is maturing and deepening. The quality of demand excites me the most, repeat purchasers supporting trusted brands, families upgrading within the city, and professionals committing to long-term lifestyle locations like New Town and the Bypass belt. The data reveal that when developers get the product, location, and trust right, the market responds decisively.”

Consumer behavior in CY25 further underlined the depth of real demand in Kolkata’s premium housing. In the premium segment, 3BHK configurations continued to drive volumes, supported by growing interest from high‑income professionals and upwardly mobile families who increasingly view locations such as South Kolkata as long‑term lifestyle destinations.
