Luxury Housing Outperforms Amid Global Headwinds
Amid global economic instability that has cast a shadow over several asset classes, Indias luxury housing sector is one to watch. Luxury residences continue to attract the interest of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and are gaining an increasing share of residential sales. Rising earnings, business success, a growing pool of high-net-worth individuals and unabated interest from Non-Resident Indians have resulted in a persistent demand for upmarket homes. Luxury housing continues to gain momentum as buyers prioritise premium living, quality, and long-term value across key Indian markets A report for H1 FY 2026 by Anarock revealed that luxury and premium homes accounted for nearly 42% of new home supply in key cities and represented about Rs. 2.98 lakh crore of residential sales value, growing 7% year-on-year, while housing sales volume remained largely stable. The data indicate that buyers are choosing more upscale homes, alongside the luxury segments increased market share. Uddhav Poddar, CMD, Bhumika Group said, Despite global economic uncertainties, the luxury housing segment has continued to demonstrate resilience, driven by discerning buyers who are prioritising quality, trust and long-term value over short-term market fluctuations. Todays luxury homebuyers evaluate not only the residence but the overall living experience, including thoughtful design, wellness, connectivity and the credibility of the developer. As aspirations continue to evolve and purchasing decisions become more value-driven, we believe demand for well-planned premium developments will remain strong over the long term . The residential environment is now more appealing for end-users and investors alike, with transparency driven by RERA and quality developments delivered by reputable developers. Among the major cities, Mumbai remains the most expensive residential market in India. Luxury home prices in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have risen by around 43 per cent in the last three years, backed by limited supply and persistent demand from rich homeowners, said ANAROCK. But in terms of transaction value, Delhi-NCR has become the largest luxury home market in the country. Gurpal Singh Chawla, Managing Director, TREVOC Group, said, "The luxury residential market continues to outperform because buyers today are investing in experiences rather than just square footage. They seek homes that combine thoughtful design, timeless architecture and spaces that evolve with their lifestyle. We believe the future of luxury lies in creating residences that deliver enduring value, comfort and a meaningful living experience for generations." Gurugram witnessed sales of properties priced above Rs. 10 crore worth around Rs. 24,120 crore in 2025, beating MMRs Rs. 21,902 crore for the first time, according to data from Sothebys International Realty and CRE Matrix. The trend has continued into 2026, with Gurugram accounting for over 73 per cent of total residential releases in Delhi-NCR during the second quarter. As a major business and financial hub, supplemented with high-end retail, hospitality and social infrastructure, the city continues to attract entrepreneurs, senior executives and worldwide professionals. Mitul Jain, Managing Director, SPJ Group , said, "Luxury housing is witnessing sustained momentum as homebuyers increasingly prioritise quality, exclusivity and long-term value. Today's luxury developments are expected to offer a seamless blend of design excellence, superior amenities and strategic locations, making luxury residences a preferred choice for discerning buyers and investors alike. In Gurugram, robust infrastructure, expanding corporate presence and the emergence of well-planned luxury micro-markets have further strengthened demand for luxury residences. As a result, luxury homes have evolved beyond aspirational purchases into resilient, future-ready assets for both end-users and investors." Noida is fast turning out to be the next luxury destination in NCR. The developing metro network, motorway connectivity and the impending Noida International Airport are turning the city into an appealing destination for luxury residential complexes. Integrated townships, better value propositions and modern infrastructure are luring end users and investors. Salil Kumar, Director, Marketing & Business Management, CRC Group, said, Noidas luxury housing segment has transformed considerably due to the transformative infrastructure developments and the increasing preference for elevated living experiences. Expectations are still evolving, and the luxury segment is setting the bar higher with sophisticated living experiences that are comfortable, functional, and have long-term value. For developers, luxury housing offers the advantage of higher revenue per unit, allowing for greater focus on design, build quality, and customer experience. At the same time, however, buyers are becoming more sophisticated and demanding the worldwide standards of execution, competent property management and long-term after-sales support. Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments Ltd. , said, The definition of luxury has evolved significantly over the last few years. Buyers today are looking for homes that offer spacious layouts, wellness-driven amenities, sustainable design, and superior connectivity. In Gurugram, this shift is particularly evident as infrastructure upgrades and a thriving corporate ecosystem continue to attract discerning homebuyers and investors. As aspirations continue to rise, thoughtfully planned luxury communities are becoming the benchmark for modern urban living, supported by strong end-user demand, limited quality supply, and strong long-term investment potential. Backed by strong economic fundamentals, infrastructure development and changing aspirations of buyers, Delhi-NCR, led by Gurugram and fast catching up Noida, is well placed to remain Indias most vibrant luxury housing market. Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to be the anchors of Indias premium residential growth.

Beyond the usual circuit, Uri makes its mark on Kashmir tourism
For decades, Kashmirs tourism narrative has revolved around destinations such as Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar. But a growing number of travellers are now venturing off the beaten track, discovering the untouched landscapes and village life of Uri in north Kashmir. Among them is Rohini, a Bengaluru native currently based in London, who spent four days exploring the border town and has emerged as an unlikely ambassador for the regions tourism potential. In a video shared on social media, Rohini described her visit to Uri as one of the most memorable travel experiences she has had and encouraged tourists to look beyond the Valleys traditional destinations. Having discovered her accommodation online with little prior knowledge of the area, she decided to take a chance on Uri a decision she said exceeded all expectations. What left the strongest impression, she said, was not only the regions breathtaking scenery but also the warmth and generosity of its people. During her stay, Rohini visited Doodran village, where residents welcomed her into their home and served homemade yogurt. The hospitality of the people of Doodran was one of the most memorable parts of my trip, she said. She also explored Kamman Post and trekked through the surrounding hills with the assistance of a local guide recommended by her hosts. According to Rohini, Uri offers a unique blend of experiences, from village tourism and nature walks to trekking routes suited for both beginners and seasoned hikers. She also praised the local cuisine and accommodation, saying her hosts ensured that visitors felt at home. Calling Uri a safe destination for travellers, she appealed to tourists to experience the area for themselves rather than limiting their itineraries to Kashmirs established resorts. Her endorsement has drawn attention to lesser-known villages such as Bijhama and Doodran, highlighting their potential as emerging destinations for rural, adventure and eco-tourism. The growing interest in Uri reflects a broader shift in Kashmirs tourism landscape. As Greater Kashmir has reported earlier, an increasing number of visitors are moving away from crowded destinations in search of pristine forests, hidden waterfalls and authentic village experiences across north Kashmir. The transformation is also being supported through official efforts to promote border tourism. The civil administration and the Indian Army have launched initiatives to showcase the tourism potential of remote regions, including Keran, Machhal, Gurez, Karnah, Tangdhar and Bangus. As part of these efforts, the Indian Army has launched the Shumali Kashmir online tourism portal and released a comprehensive North Kashmir Tourism Magazine, aimed at promoting border destinations and generating livelihood opportunities for local communities. The publication features detailed destination profiles, travel guides and visual narratives, presenting north Kashmir as a region where adventure, culture, history and nature come together, while encouraging travellers to explore some of the Valleys least-explored landscapes.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Been Sensational, I'm Glad That He Has Done Well, Says Sunil Joshi
Harare Sports Club: Indias stand-in bowling coach Sunil Joshi praised young batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his explosive start to the T20I series against Zimbabwe, adding that he was glad to see the teenager do well in the opening game at the Harare Sports Club. Sooryavanshi's 18-ball fifty, laced with four boundaries and as many sixes, made him the youngest player to score a half-century in international cricket. His blitzkrieg reduced Indias chase of 126 to a mere formality as the reigning T20 World Cup champions reached home with 40 balls remaining and take a 1-0 lead. I think the first thing is, let's focus on his batting. He's been sensational and I'm glad that he has done well. This is a hunting ground for him. He performed well in the U19 World Cup finals here. He had a good performance yesterday as well, Joshi told reporters in the pre-match press conference, ahead of the second T20I on Saturday. He also revealed that some work will be put in on Sooryavanshis bowling skills at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Vaibhav has been very comfortable with his batting. Whenever we get time in his bowling, I'll work with him in the CoE. Whenever we will see him bowling well, we'll definitely and quickly focus on that. Addressing comparisons surrounding emerging seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, Joshi urged patience and persistence with young talents adapting to the demands of international T20 cricket. Look, we shouldn't compare. Suryansh is making his place in the Indian team. Hardik (Pandya) has made his place. Shivam (Dube) has also made his place. So, he's a rising talent. We have to persist with him. He's working on good things, and good areas. That's what we want in the T20 format. Addressing comparisons surrounding emerging seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, Joshi urged patience and persistence with young talents adapting to the demands of international T20 cricket. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The coaches always want him to improve every time for the better and Harsh Dubey has also performed well. We also have Tilak Verma with us. In fact, he's also another optional bowler. We have conversations with him about not giving too many runs, giving more dot balls, and focusing on the basics.

From Local Dreams to Global Careers: Free SAP Learning for Students in India
For years, a degree was the thing that got you hired. Thats changed. Employers now want graduates who can pick things up fast, understand how a business actually runs, and work comfortably in tech-driven teams that often span several countries at once. SAP Learning Hub, student edition A student graduating in Bengaluru or Pune might, within months, be collaborating with colleagues in Berlin or clients in Singapore. Workplaces have moved faster than classrooms in this respect, and that gap is exactly why continuous learning now matters almost as much as the degree itself. Enterprise technology is a big part of that gap. Large organizations run on integrated systems that touch everything from finance and procurement to supply chains and customer service. Most students never encounter these systems until theyre already on the job, at which point theyre expected to learn them on the fly. SAP thinks students shouldnt have to wait that long. Through SAP Learning Hub, student edition , eligible final-year college and university students in India get free access to premium SAP learning resources once they complete academic verification no subscription, no hidden cost. Students pick learning journeys based on what interests them, sit in on expert-led sessions, get hands-on time with real practice systems, and join a learning community that stretches well beyond their own campus. The program also covers two SAP Certification exam attempts, so students walk away with credentials employers recognize internationally. Today's careers are rarely confined to one geography , says David Chaviano, Program Manager, SAP Learning Hub, student edition . Students who understand how businesses operate, and who keep learning throughout their careers, will be better prepared to succeed in an increasingly connected economy . None of this is limited to engineering or computer science students, either. Whether youre studying commerce, management, or a technical discipline, there are learning paths in finance, procurement, HR, supply chain, customer experience, analytics, and business technology. The goal isnt to churn out software users, its to help students understand how modern organizations actually function. Global careers, it turns out, usually start with local preparation. Getting a head start on industry-relevant skills before graduation can make that first jump from campus to workplace feel a lot less daunting, and considerably more rewarding. For Indias graduates entering an increasingly connected economy, understanding how global businesses work may end up mattering just as much as the degree hanging on the wall. https://learning.sap.com/free-student-edition
Harare Sports Club: While a brilliant spell of 2-18 in the first T20I against Zimbabwe provided immense joy for Mayank Yadav on his return to international cricket, the bigger picture stretches far beyond it for the Delhi-based tearaway pacer. A 21-month injury layoff due to a stress fracture in the back needing surgery in Christchurch, New Zealand in July 2025, Mayank picking Player of the Match award on successful return to international cricket at the Harare Sports Club is merely step one in taking the world by storm again like how he did in a breakthrough IPL 2024 season. For Devendra Sharma, Mayanks childhood coach at the Sonnet Club in the national capital, watching the speedster hit his strides and trouble the Zimbabwe batters with some serious heat again brought equal parts relief and satisfaction after a grueling spell on the sidelines. He bowled exceedingly well. It was a treat to the eyes to see him perform very well. As his coach, it felt very joyful and I was really happy to see it because all the hard work done by him, including during the rehab phase, has paid off. I remember of the time he was very worried because things werent going well for him after picking the back injury in IPL 2025 and continuously was at the NCA (now the BCCI Centre of Excellence) in Bengaluru). Before he left for Zimbabwe on July 20, I advised him to not stick much to bowling short balls all the time. I told him, Just see the footwork of the batter and bowl as per that, and that advice worked really well. It was also wonderful to see him get the backing from the likes of VVS Laxman, an elated Sharma told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Friday. Mayank was right on the money when on a pitch with spongy bounce, he produced a steep delivery that squared Brian Bennett up and a faint edge was caught behind by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. The early breakthrough set the tone for Mayank, leaving Dion Myers tentative in his footwork as he struggled to cope with the pacer's raw pace and eventually fell to him. Ten of Mayank's first 12 deliveries were clocked in the mid-to-high 140kmph range, with his fastest ball touching 149kmph. With 21 of his 24 deliveries pitched either short-of-a-length or in the good-length area, Mayank extracted sharp zip and bounce off the deck, repeatedly squaring up the batters and hitting them high on the handle. In all, seeing Mayank bowl fast and hurry Zimbabwes batters for pace was a purists delight. Having spent an extended period recovering at the Centre of Excellence (CoE), for injuries ranging from back to elbow, side strain and toe infection before stress fracture came into picture, the primary focus for Mayank was ensuring that he capitalized immediately upon his return to the international setup. It also helped that he was constantly kept in the scheme of things like his selection for India A team in the T20 World Cup warm-up games and having a net bowling stint during the one-off Test against Afghanistan in New Chandigarh in June. Whenever you get a chance or opportunity to play, you have to grab it with both hands. For Mayank, getting that first game and then doing well in it was super important as he has to maintain himself to be in the reckoning for future T20I assignments and he literally did what was asked of him, added Sharma, also the childhood coach of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. The road back from the serious back injury is rarely straightforward for a express pacer, and Sharma was candid in explaining psychological hurdles Mayank had to overcome in that phase full of turbulence. When a player goes through an injury and has to do rehab, there are lots of ups and downs in the mind. Like whether I will play or not and even if I play, will it be the same as before? Credit to him he did his rehab with a lot of shiddat (dedication). He did his daily exercises and then graduated to bowling 15-20 overs daily at CoE. In times like that, a player just needs motivation to keep going. Like Yes, you can do it. You have the capability. The chats I always had with him were centered around motivating him. Before he left for Zimbabwe, I called him to say, You have got a very good opportunity. Make the most of it and dont let it go to waste because if you do well here, then the path of cementing your place in the Indian team will be made. Credit goes to his hardwork, and the dedication he showed daily to do his rehab well, he recalled. Sharma also highlighted the crucial role played by the medical and training staff at the CoE, where access to top-tier facilities via a fast bowling contract accelerated Mayank's recovery and helped sharpen his skill set. Credit should also go to the people at the CoE for helping him to get back to the field. The machines and equipment needed for him to get better at the CoE such facilities arent here in Delhi. Being at the CoE has helped him become better in all aspects and I am absolutely sure that he will continue doing well in coming matches. While T20Is serve as the immediate stage for Mayank's comeback after making his debut in the series against Bangladesh in 2024, Sharma revealed that the long-term roadmap includes building workload capacity to ready the fast bowler for the ultimate Test in longer formats. He was very elated on getting the chance to play again for India. When a player gets a call-up again to play internationally, the mind also starts to be full of joy because all the hard work done over the years is for playing cricket only, no? He practiced in Chandigarh as well in the run-up to the one-off Test against Afghanistan. Our next step is to improve his fitness and prepare for playing ODIs and Tests. He shouldn't get injured now considering he had the surgery which Bumrah went through. He had a good rehab and will increase his stamina gradually. After putting 15-20 overs at the CoE, he will soon aim to put 25 overs in a day and try for him to play Tests. Beyond physical recovery, tactical adjustments have been central to Mayank's evolution. In cricket, if we work hard in the right way, we will definitely get success. The lines and lengths vary from batter to batter - some play well on the front foot, some on the back foot or either both ways. Our next step is to improve his fitness and prepare for playing ODIs and Tests. He shouldn't get injured now considering he had the surgery which Bumrah went through.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score I did talk about this with him and urged him to think well before bowling as then you will get success. I just hope that he will bowl well in the coming games. He has got a good start and he will do better in the upcoming matches, concluded Sharma. Article Source: IANS
