The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) recorded a strong year in 2025, registering 308 real estate projects, reflecting a 19% increase compared to 259 projects in 2024. This growth was accompanied by a sharp rise in approved units and capital investment, underlining sustained momentum in the state’s real estate sector.
Officials said the data highlights renewed developer confidence, expanding urban demand, and continued regulatory compliance under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
Approved Housing and Commercial Units See 22.5% Jump
Alongside the increase in project registrations, the number of approved residential and commercial units rose significantly. In 2025, 84,976 units were approved, up from 69,365 units in 2024, marking a 22.5% year-on-year growth.
Taken together, approvals during 2024 and 2025 crossed 1.54 lakh units, indicating sustained construction activity and steady end-user demand across Uttar Pradesh’s urban and semi-urban regions.
Capital Investment Rises by Over 53%
Capital investment under UP RERA-registered projects witnessed a substantial surge. In 2025, total investment reached Rs 68,328 crore, compared to Rs 44,526 crore in 2024, registering a 53.5% increase.
According to officials, this sharp rise reflects larger project sizes, increased land values in key growth corridors, and strong interest from developers in both NCR and non-NCR districts.
Noida Continues to Dominate UP’s Real Estate Market
Among all districts, Noida remained the dominant real estate hub in Uttar Pradesh. In 2025, Noida registered 69 projects, the highest in the state, with approvals for 37,199 residential and commercial units.
Projects in Noida accounted for Rs 37,161 crore, which is more than half of the total capital investment recorded across Uttar Pradesh during the year. Officials attributed Noida’s lead to its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and sustained demand within the NCR belt.
Lucknow and Ghaziabad Emerge as Key Growth Centres
Lucknow, the state capital, emerged as the second-largest hub in 2025, with 67 projects registered. Approved units in Lucknow stood at 13,668, with a total investment value of Rs 9,398 crore.
Ghaziabad ranked third in overall activity, registering 29 projects with approvals for 10,747 units. In investment terms, Ghaziabad recorded Rs 12,750 crore, making it the second-highest district by value after Noida. Officials noted that higher land and development costs in NCR areas contributed to Ghaziabad’s elevated investment figures.
Agra and Mathura Feature Among Top Districts
Outside the major NCR cities, Agra recorded 14 project registrations, with 2,784 approved units and an investment of approximately Rs 1,732 crore. Mathura, with 23 projects registered, also featured among the top five districts, reflecting growing interest in religious and tourism-driven markets.
Non-NCR Districts Lead in Project Registrations
A region-wise analysis shows that non-NCR districts continued to account for a larger share of project registrations. Of the 308 projects registered in 2025, 186 were located in non-NCR districts, while 122 were in NCR areas.
A similar trend was observed in 2024, when 170 of 259 projects were in non-NCR districts, indicating broader geographic expansion of real estate development beyond traditional NCR hotspots.
The sharp rise in UP RERA registrations, approved units, and capital investment in 2025 signals a robust and expanding property market in Uttar Pradesh. With both NCR and non-NCR regions witnessing strong activity, the data reflects balanced growth, regulatory confidence, and long-term development potential across the state.
