New Delhi: Housing prices in Delhi-NCR increased by 6 per cent in 2025, a sharp slowdown after a massive 49 per cent jump in 2024, according to data released by PropTiger, now owned by Aurum PropTech. The moderation reflects softer demand after a steep rise in property rates during the 20222024 period. Across the top eight cities, average housing prices rose 6 per cent in 2025 compared to a 17 per cent increase in 2024. The data shows that while prices are still rising, the pace has clearly slowed. Mumbai Real Estate News: Reliance Industries Buys 3 Luxury Homes At One Altamount Road For 85 Crore Aurum PropTech Executive Director Onkar Shetye said that stable pricing and controlled supply have helped maintain market balance. He added that developers have managed inventory well, creating a stable base for 2026. Bengaluru Leads, Chennai Remains Flat Among major cities, Bengaluru recorded the highest growth of 13 percent. Average prices in the city increased to Rs 8,533 per sq ft in 2025 from Rs 7,536 per sq ft in 2024. Industry experts say strong demand from IT professionals, growing Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and infrastructure development in North and East Bengaluru supported the rise. In contrast, Chennai saw almost no change in prices, which remained around Rs 7,200 per sq ft.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) saw a 4 per cent rise to Rs 13,164 per sq ft, while Pune recorded a marginal 1 per cent increase to Rs 7,192 per sq ft. Ahmedabad prices grew 8 per cent to Rs 4,754 per sq ft. Hyderabad also saw an 8 percent rise to Rs 7,644 per sq ft. Kolkata recorded a 6 per cent increase to Rs 5,945 per sq ft. Developers say higher land and construction costs also pushed prices upward. However, experts believe the market is now more stable, with genuine homebuyers driving demand rather than investors.

From Chessboard To Timepiece: Gukesh Dommaraju Is Titan Of The Year 2026
Extending its philosophy of Indian in spirit, global in execution , Titan Watches has announced the second edition of Titan of the Year, a platform that celebrates individuals whose journeys challenge convention, set new benchmarks of mastery, and contribute to Indias growing global stature. The 2026 edition honours Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest world chess champion in history, at just 18. From becoming the third-youngest grandmaster (2006) to winning gold at the Chess Olympiad (2022) and becoming the youngest-ever Khel Ratna Awardee (2025), his journey is defined by fearless strategy, calm precision, and sustained excellence at the highest level. Recently named Titan of the Year by Titan, the Chennai-born prodigy now has a timepiece inspired by his successan exclusive 500-piece limited-edition timepiece launched in Mumbai. Explaining Titans decision to honour Gukesh after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, Rahul Shukla, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Titan Watches, says, Gukesh was a natural choice for Titan as he represents a new generation of Indian achievers succeeding on global stages, and his achievements aligned with the brands Made in India narrative. Like Rakesh Sharma, he embodies global impact, domain excellence, intellectual curiosity, and values such as integrity and humility, core criteria for the Titan of the Year platform. Speaking about the special timepiece dedicated to the youngest world chess champion, Sharma shares, The watch translates chess strategy into horology through a marquetry dial in tiger eye and black agate, indices inspired by chess pieces, and a rotor engraved with a Grandmaster Knight and Gukeshs milestone. Limited to 500 pieces and powered by an in-house automatic movement, it reflects precision, discipline, and collectability. We quizzed the world champion on timekeeping and his game. What is the relationship between chess and timekeeping? The core connection is making good decisions within a short period of time. Chess has evolved significantly over the past few years, and time management has become a crucial part of the game. In that sense, I relate a lot to Titan watches. They put a great deal of intent and thought behind every watch they create, just like I do in my games. Whats your game style: quick response or slow and calculated? In chess terms, Im known as a slow player, very calculative and thoughtful, with each move. Of course, there has to be a balance between the depth of thought and the time available. I dont think one fully masters that balance; its a work in progress for me. Your style is sometimes compared to Anatoly Karpovs. Whats your view? Every player is different, and the era in which Karpov played was very different from today. I wouldnt really compare myself to anyone across eras. That said, without players like Karpov, we wouldnt be playing chess the way we do today. We all grew up studying their games. Who are your role models? Viswanathan Anand sir, will always remain my biggest role model. What makes him so special is that he transformed the chess ecosystem in Indiahe put India on the world chess map. Beyond just being a role model, he has taken it upon himself to develop the next generation of players through the Westbridge Anand Chess Academy. I joined as a student and am now part of the academy. Many young players benefit from it, and he is always available to discuss anything related to our games. Having someone as experienced as Anand sir adds immense value. Is This Titan's Most Expensive Watch Priced At 40.5 Lakh? You replaced Viswanathan Anand as Indias number one chess player after 37 years. How does that feel? He is still the greatest chess player India has ever had, and I wouldnt compare myself to him at all. Even statistically, Ive won the world championship once, while he has won it five times. As a chess player, what are your immediate and long-term plans? This year is extremely important for me with the Chess Olympiad and the World Championship coming up. My entire focus is on those events. Over the next three to five years, I see myself becoming a much stronger and more complete chess player. I need to work on my weaker areas, such as time management and positional decision-making, while continuing to improve my strengths.
