West Asia Conflict Raises Concerns Over Delayed Delivery of 540,000 Homes Scheduled for 2026

India's Residential Real Estate Sector Faces Project Delivery Challenges Ahead

India's residential real estate sector is likely to face project delivery challenges in 2026 due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which continues to disrupt global supply chains and push up construction costs. According to property consultancy ANAROCK Group, the sector could be severely impacted if the current situation persists.

In 2026, around 5,40,400 housing units are scheduled for completion across the top seven cities, making it the biggest year for housing deliveries in the last decade. Of the total scheduled deliveries, the western markets of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune collectively account for 57 percent of homes due for completion this year.

According to ANAROCK Research, MMR is expected to see delivery of about 2,07,300 units, while Pune has around 1,00,300 units lined up for completion. Bengaluru is scheduled to deliver 69,000 units, followed by Hyderabad with 63,700 units and Chennai with 35,600 units. NCR has 39,000 units due for completion, while Kolkata's pipeline stands at 22,500 units.
