The 2027 India Home Report

Every year, millions of Indians build a house, do up a flat or fit out an office. Most of what they decide, and what it costs, is never written down.

This report will write it down: what people build, how they decide, what they spend, and how the brands, professionals and startups behind it work, city by city. It will draw on surveys of homeowners, professionals and brands, anonymised data from Design IRL, and public figures. We’ll publish it at the end of 2027.

What it will cover

  • Decisions

    What people build or renovate and why, in what order they decide, who they hire and what they'd do differently.

  • Costs

    Cost per sq ft and per project, how budgets split, how far they overrun, and how people pay for it.

  • City by city

    Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and every zone, plus a closer look at the big metros: methods, materials and styles.

  • Budget and style

    What each budget band buys, which design styles people pick in which cities, and where money goes first.

  • Brands

    How building and interior brands sell across channels and cities, and how well they deliver.

  • Professionals and startups

    How architects, engineers and contractors work and charge, and the startups trying to change home building.

It covers new homes, renovations and interiors, and offices. Brands and companies appear only as categories and trends. Nobody is named or ranked.
