The year 2024 has marked a significant milestone for India’s ultra-luxury real estate sector, with Mumbai emerging as the epicenter of this high-value market. According to data from the renowned real estate consultancy firm Anarock, ultra-luxury home sales in India have reached a staggering Rs 2,443 crore in just the first eight months of the year, with Mumbai leading the charge.
