chevron_rightShrinking Apartment Sizes in India: A Changing Landscape
Think of the days when everyone used to live in an independent home of their own—when space was abundant, and homes were built on bigger plots. Rentals were low, and homes were sizable. Isn’t this a tale of the yesteryears?
Today, the situation has flipped:
The average size of apartments is shrinking.
The cost of housing is increasing.
The government has introduced policies to make housing affordable.
Our Prime Minister launched a program with the vision of providing affordable housing for all by 2022. In response, builders and developers have reduced apartment sizes to keep costs and rentals within reach for residents.
As per data, apartment sizes have significantly reduced in major cities over the past decade:
Mumbai: Shrunk by 26.4% since 2010 (from 1400 sq. ft. to 1050 sq. ft.).
Bengaluru: Reduced by 23.7% (from 1800 sq. ft. to 1500 sq. ft.).
Chennai: Declined by 22.2% over five years.
Pune: Saw a 7% decrease in apartment size.
Housing has been made more affordable through:
Reduced apartment sizes to lower costs.
Attractive payment plans with flexible terms and discounts.
Development in suburban areas, where properties are more affordable.
“The biggest issue in the market today is the ticket price, and we need to make that attractive for buyers,” said a real estate firm executive.
