High unsold residential inventory was reported across several major Indian metropolitan areas, including Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai. In Hyderabad, 29.6 crore square feet of residential property remains unsold.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high inventory levels suggest a slowdown in absorption rates across major urban centers. This overhang could put pressure on market prices in cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, and Chennai, as builders continue to launch properties faster than buyers can absorb them.

Market trends show Bengaluru leading growth, while Hyderabad had the highest inventory levels as of early July 2026. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is also developing a standardized methodology to assess the economic output of several major Indian cities.
