The top 20 new residential projects in India in 2026

This table lists the 20 largest new residential projects, or new phases of projects, launched in India between January and mid-October 2026, ranked by the value the developer disclosed. Filter by city, search by developer or area, or click a column heading to sort.

Value is the gross development value (GDV), revenue potential or bookings, whichever the developer disclosed. “Booked” means sales reported at or soon after launch. A dash means the developer has not disclosed the figure.

Ranking by disclosed value

Prestige Golden Grove is the largest launch of the year at about ₹9,500 crore. Oberoi Three Sixty North is close behind and is the largest by actual bookings. The top five alone are worth about ₹33,509 crore, or 62% of the top-20 total.

The 20 projects in detail

Each profile gives the facts the developer has published, why the project made the list, and one thing to check before you book. “Not disclosed” means the developer has not published the figure in a filing or press release.

1. Prestige Golden Grove, Tellapur, Hyderabad

Why it made the list: The largest single launch of 2026 by value. A township of this size in Tellapur, next to the Financial District and Kokapet, gives buyers a big choice of sizes and a long build-out.

Check before you buy: 5,120 homes will be delivered in phases over several years, so check the tower-wise completion dates in the RERA registration.

2. Oberoi Three Sixty North, Sector 58, Gurugram

Why it made the list: Oberoi Realty's first project outside Mumbai, and the biggest single booking total of any 2026 launch. It set a new price benchmark for Gurugram.

Check before you buy: In July 2026 the Punjab and Haryana High Court barred fresh allotments until the planning department (DTCP) ruled on a licence complaint. The company says DTCP dismissed the complaint on 13 August 2026 and the restriction has ceased; check for any appeal before buying a resale or later phase.

3. Sobha OneWorld, Hoskote, Bengaluru

Why it made the list: Sobha's largest launch of the year and a big bet on Hoskote, just past Whitefield on the Old Madras Road side, where land is still cheaper than in the IT belt.

Check before you buy: Hoskote is outside the main city, so check commute times to Whitefield and the progress of the Satellite Town Ring Road before you buy.

4. Piramal Vaikunth, Phase 2, Balkum, Thane

Why it made the list: One of the largest launches in the Mumbai region this year, in a Thane township where earlier phases are already built, so buyers can see the developer's work.

Check before you buy: Thane has a lot of new supply. Compare the carpet-area rate with ready flats nearby before paying a launch premium.

Sources: Piramal Realty press release, 23 July 2026, The Realty Today

5. Godrej Vanantara, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru

Why it made the list: One of the fastest sell-outs of 2026: more than half the project's value was booked in a week.

Check before you buy: Bannerghatta Road traffic is heavy; check the Pink Line metro stations and their distance from the site.

Sources: Deccan Herald, DSIJ: ₹2,000 crore in launch week

6. Sobha Crescent, Sector 63A, Gurugram

Why it made the list: Sobha's second big Gurugram launch, on the same corridor as Three Sixty North and DLF's Aureva, which is now the country's busiest luxury market.

Check before you buy: Prices on Golf Course Extension Road have risen fast. Check what similar flats resell for, not just launch prices.

Sources: Sobha: Gurgaon projects, Haryana RERA project page

7. Prestige Forest Hills, Phase 2 (The Prestige City), Mulund West, Mumbai

Why it made the list: A large-format launch inside Mumbai city limits, which is rare. Mulund sits on the Central line and the Eastern Express Highway.

Check before you buy: Check the possession date for phase 2 separately from phase 1.

Sources: Sahi: Prestige phase 2 launch, ScanX

8. Lodha Beaumont Estate (Fiorana), Sadahalli, Bengaluru

Why it made the list: Lodha's push into North Bengaluru, near the airport and the Devanahalli growth area. Possession is listed for March 2032.

Check before you buy: Possession is more than five years away, so weigh the payment plan and the developer's track record in a new city.

Sources: Square Yards project page

9. DLF The Aureva (senior living), Sector 63, Gurugram

Why it made the list: India's biggest senior living launch so far, and it sold out. It shows that well-off buyers will pay for homes designed for older residents.

Check before you buy: All homes are sold, so only resales will be available. Senior living services and maintenance costs are extra.

10. Brigade Stellaris, Velachery Road, Chennai

Why it made the list: A large launch in established South Chennai, close to the Velachery MRTS and the IT corridor.

Check before you buy: Velachery has flooded in past monsoons. Check the site's flood history and the building's drainage plan.

Sources: Brigade filing, NSE, 27 February 2026

11. Birla Arika, Phase 2, Sector 31, Gurugram

Why it made the list: A near sell-out in the older, central part of Gurugram, close to NH-48 and IFFCO Chowk.

Check before you buy: Completion is listed for 2032, so you will pay for some years before you can move in.

Sources: Birla Estates release, NSE, 7 April 2026

12. Godrej Aveline, Yelahanka, Bengaluru

Why it made the list: Godrej's biggest launch of the January to March quarter, on the airport side of the city near the Yelahanka rail and road links.

Check before you buy: RERA completion is March 2031. Check the tower you are offered.

Why it made the list: Godrej's main NCR launch of the January to March quarter, in Greater Noida's Sigma III sector, on the side of the city that faces the Yamuna Expressway and the new airport at Jewar.

Check before you buy: Greater Noida has a history of delayed projects. Check land dues to the authority and the RERA completion date.

Sources: Godrej Properties results release, NSE, 4 May 2026, Godrej Arden project page

14. Prestige Palm Court, Madhavaram, Chennai

Why it made the list: A rare big-brand launch in North Chennai, where prices are lower than in the south and the Metro Phase 2 Madhavaram line is being built.

Check before you buy: North Chennai resale demand is thinner than in the south, so plan to hold for longer.

Sources: Sahi: Prestige Palm Court, Construction World

15. Max Estates THE Terraces at Estate 361, Estate 361, Gurugram

Why it made the list: Smaller homes at a lower entry price than most Gurugram luxury launches, on the Dwarka Expressway, which is now open end to end.

Check before you buy: Smaller luxury units can be harder to resell. Compare the price per sq ft with nearby 3 BHK projects.

Sources: The Realty Today, Sahi: units from ₹2.4 crore

16. Brigade Belvedere, Budigere Main Road, Bengaluru

Why it made the list: The most affordable-sized homes on this list, starting at 1 BHK, in the Budigere Cross area east of Whitefield.

Check before you buy: Budigere depends on roads still being built. Check the distance to the Whitefield metro and to the airport road.

Sources: Brigade filing, NSE, 25 March 2026

17. Mahindra Codename Sanctum at Mahindra Citadel, Pimpri, Pune

Why it made the list: A new phase in an established township in Pimpri-Chinchwad, close to the Pune metro and the industrial belt.

Check before you buy: The GDV was given as ₹800 to ₹850 crore; we use the top of the range. Check which towers your flat is in.

Sources: Mahindra Lifespaces press release

18. Godrej Varanya, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

Why it made the list: A launch in Kharghar, one of Navi Mumbai's most established nodes, where the new Navi Mumbai International Airport has lifted demand.

Check before you buy: Kharghar has a lot of new supply. Check the CIDCO lease terms and the final carpet area.

Sources: Godrej Properties results release, NSE, 4 May 2026, Godrej blog: Varanya, Kharghar

19. Kolte-Patil Vyana at The Reserve, Vadgaon, Pune

Why it made the list: The fastest sale on this list by speed: over ₹600 crore in 60 hours, a record for Kolte-Patil.

Check before you buy: Most early inventory is gone, so later towers may be priced higher.

Sources: Sahi: ₹600 crore in 60 hours, UNI India

20. Godrej Ivara, Kharadi, Pune

Why it made the list: A launch in Kharadi, Pune's eastern IT hub with EON IT Park and the World Trade Center, where rental demand is strong.

Check before you buy: Kharadi prices are already high for Pune. Compare with nearby Wagholi and Manjri if the budget is tight.

Which cities have the most new launches?

Bengaluru and Gurugram lead with five launches each. Bengaluru's launches are spread across the east (Hoskote, Budigere), north (Yelahanka, Sadahalli) and south (Bannerghatta Road), while Gurugram's are mostly on Golf Course Extension Road and in the luxury segment. Hyderabad has only one launch on the list, but it is the largest of all.

When the top 20 launched

Launches were spread across the year. The April to June quarter was the busiest, with eight of the 20, including the three largest. The pace slowed in July to September, and DLF's sell-out of The Aureva in early October is the only top-20 launch of the October to December quarter so far. Developers usually add more launches around Diwali.

Which launches sold the most?

Ten of the 20 projects published launch bookings. These figures are the clearest sign of demand, because they count homes actually booked rather than planned value. Three Sixty North is in a class of its own; Golden Grove, Vanantara, The Aureva and Arika phase 2 each disclosed bookings of ₹1,600 crore to ₹2,500 crore soon after launch.

How much do homes in these projects cost?

Most developers do not publish prices in their filings, so the chart shows only the five projects where a price was given. All five are luxury projects. If your budget is under ₹1.5 crore, look at later phases of the larger townships, such as Brigade Belvedere's 1 and 2 BHK homes, or check each project's price list directly.

Which developers launched the most?

Godrej Properties has five projects on the list, more than any other developer, spread across Bengaluru, Greater Noida, Navi Mumbai and Pune. Prestige Group has three, including the largest launch of the year. Sobha and Brigade have two each.

What the 2026 launches tell us

• Luxury is still leading. The biggest bookings came from homes priced above ₹2 crore, particularly in Gurugram, where Three Sixty North, Sobha Crescent, Birla Arika and DLF The Aureva together disclosed about ₹13,900 crore.
• Townships are back. Golden Grove (5,120 homes) and Sobha OneWorld (3,484 homes) are large, phased townships on the edges of their cities, where land is cheaper.
• Big brands are moving to new cities. Oberoi Realty launched its first project outside Mumbai, Lodha expanded in North Bengaluru, and Prestige continued to expand in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Chennai.
• Senior living has arrived. DLF sold all 172 homes at The Aureva, one of the largest senior living launches by a top developer so far.
• Launches are phased. Several projects on the list, including Piramal Vaikunth, Prestige Forest Hills, Birla Arika and Mahindra Citadel, are new phases of existing projects, which lets developers price each phase higher if the earlier one sold well.

Buyer checklist: six checks before you book a new launch

1. Get the RERA number. Ask the developer or broker for the project's RERA registration number for the exact phase and tower you are buying.
2. Check it on the state RERA portal. Search the number on the state RERA website and match the promoter, land area, tower, number of homes and the promised completion date.
3. Check approvals and title. Read the approved building plan, the environmental clearance where needed, and the title documents uploaded on RERA. Ask a lawyer to check them.
4. Read the builder-buyer agreement. Check the payment plan, the delay penalty, the carpet area, the specifications and the cancellation terms before you pay more than 10%.
5. Compare the price. Work out the price per sq ft of carpet area and compare it with ready and resale flats nearby, not just with other launches.
6. Budget for all costs. Add GST of 5% (1% for affordable homes), stamp duty and registration, parking, club membership and maintenance deposits, and keep a cushion for delays.

State RERA portals: Haryana RERA, MahaRERA, Karnataka RERA, TG RERA, TN RERA and UP RERA.

Risks to weigh

• Long build times. Several projects list completion in 2031 or 2032, so you may pay EMIs and rent at the same time for five years or more.
• Legal disputes. Three Sixty North had fresh allotments halted by the High Court for about five weeks in 2026 over a licence complaint. Check court cases against the land and the developer before you pay.
• Phase pricing. Later phases usually cost more. A launch price is not a guarantee of value on completion.
• Supply. Edge-of-city townships add thousands of homes at once, which can slow resale and rental growth.
• GDV is not sales. A large GDV shows the size of a project, not demand. Bookings, and how many are later cancelled, matter more.

Frequently asked questions

Which are the biggest new residential projects launched in India in 2026?

By disclosed value, the largest are Prestige Golden Grove in Tellapur, Hyderabad (GDV about ₹9,500 crore), Oberoi Three Sixty North in Sector 58, Gurugram (₹8,109 crore booked), Sobha OneWorld in Hoskote, Bengaluru (revenue potential about ₹7,500 crore), Piramal Vaikunth phase 2 in Thane (GDV about ₹4,700 crore) and Godrej Vanantara on Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru (GDV about ₹3,700 crore).

Which city has the most new launches in the top 20?

Bengaluru and Gurugram have five launches each. The Mumbai region (Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai) and Pune have three each, Chennai has two, and Hyderabad and Greater Noida have one each. Bengaluru has the highest combined value.

Which 2026 launch sold the fastest?

Oberoi Three Sixty North booked ₹8,109 crore, the most of any 2026 launch, with bids about 3.7 times the homes on offer. By speed, Kolte-Patil sold over 600 homes worth more than ₹600 crore at Vyana in Pune in 60 hours, Godrej sold over 1,000 homes worth more than ₹2,000 crore at Vanantara in its launch week, and Prestige sold over 1,700 homes at Golden Grove in two weeks. DLF sold all 172 homes at The Aureva.

What does GDV mean in a project launch?

GDV, or gross development value, is the total amount a developer expects to earn if it sells every home in the project or phase at its planned prices. It is an estimate, not sales. Bookings are the value of homes actually sold, and buyers can cancel some bookings later.

How do I check whether a new project is RERA registered?

Ask the developer for the RERA registration number and search for it on the state RERA website, such as Haryana RERA, MahaRERA, Karnataka RERA, TG RERA, TN RERA or UP RERA. Check that the project name, phase, tower, promoter, land area and completion date match what you are being sold. Do not pay for a project that is advertised without a RERA number.

Is it safe to buy a home at launch?

Buying at launch can get you a lower price and a better choice of flats, but you carry the risk of delays, changes and legal disputes until the home is built. Most projects on this list have completion dates in 2030 to 2032. Buy only RERA-registered phases, check the developer's delivery record, and pay according to construction progress.

What are the prices of the new launches in this list?

Most developers do not publish prices in their filings. Where they did, Max Estates THE Terraces starts at about ₹2.4 crore, Prestige Forest Hills phase 2 at about ₹2.73 crore, Lodha Beaumont Estate ranges from about ₹3.2 crore to ₹7.3 crore, Sobha Crescent starts at about ₹5.75 crore, and DLF The Aureva averaged about ₹11.5 crore per home.

What taxes do I pay on an under-construction flat?

GST is 5% of the price, without input tax credit, on an under-construction flat, or 1% for affordable homes (up to ₹45 lakh and within carpet-area limits). There is no GST on a ready flat with a completion certificate. You also pay state stamp duty and registration, which range from about 5% to 9% of the value depending on the state.

What happened with the court case on Oberoi Three Sixty North?

In July 2026 the Punjab and Haryana High Court stopped fresh allotments at the project until the Haryana planning department (DTCP) decided a complaint seeking cancellation of its licence. Oberoi Realty says the DTCP dismissed the complaint on 13 August 2026 and the restriction has ceased. Buyers should still check for any appeal.

How did you choose and rank these 20 projects?

We included residential projects or new phases launched in India between January and October 2026 by listed or large developers, where the developer disclosed a value in a stock-exchange filing or press release. We ranked them by that disclosed value: GDV, revenue potential or bookings. The ranking measures size, not quality or investment return.

How we built this list

We included a project if it was a residential project, or a new phase of one, launched in India between 1 January and 16 October 2026 by a listed or large national developer, and the developer disclosed a value for it in a stock-exchange filing, results release or press release. We ranked the projects by that disclosed value. Where a developer gave a range, we used the top of the range. Where it gave both GDV and bookings, we used the larger figure and show bookings separately.

Values are not directly comparable: GDV and revenue potential are plans, while bookings are sales. The ranking measures size, not quality, safety or likely returns. We did not include projects that were still in pre-launch or had no RERA registration, such as projects announced for the October to December festive season. Unit numbers marked “sold at launch” are counts of homes booked, not total homes.
