Delhi-NCR Real Estate Hits INR 1 Lakh Crore Outpaces Hyderabad and Mumbai

Delhi-NCR: The real estate sector in Delhi-NCR has achieved a historic milestone in 2024, surpassing ₹1 lakh crore in housing sales, with Gurugram emerging as the driving force behind this remarkable growth. According to a report by PropEquity, Delhi-NCR has outpaced Hyderabad and Mumbai, reinforcing its position as India’s leading real estate hub.

The surge in housing sales has been fueled primarily by the growing demand for luxury and premium homes in Gurugram. The city’s well-developed infrastructure, improved connectivity, and expanding corporate presence have significantly contributed to this unprecedented rise in real estate transactions.

The shift toward high-end residential properties in Delhi-NCR, particularly in Gurugram, has been notable. Developers are responding to evolving homebuyer preferences by offering world-class amenities, sustainable designs, and integrated lifestyle experiences. This shift has not only propelled record-breaking sales but also attracted substantial investments from both domestic and international players. Key drivers of this growth include enhanced infrastructure and seamless connectivity.

Amit Modi, Director, County Group, said, “The increase in prices and strengthening demand in Delhi-NCR is due to strong infrastructure development, growing corporate presence, and more job opportunities. Recently, there has been a significant rise in office leasing in Delhi-NCR. Additionally, the government’s stance towards real estate is also positive, as evident from the last budget and the subsequent reduction in the repo rate. People are now moving towards luxury homes to improve their lifestyles. As a result, there has been a rapid increase in the demand for homes priced at two crores and above. While this trend is expected to continue, a potential stabilization in prices could emerge if supply aligns with demand and interest rates remain conducive to homebuyers.”

Vishal Sabharwal, Head Sales, Orris Group says, the Delhi-NCR’s real estate boom is the direct impact of infrastructure expansion and strong economic growth. The 63% rise in sales of residential properties highlights the growing demand for properties. This substantial growth is largely attributed to Gurugram, where housing sales escalated to 66%. With the advent of the Dwarka Expressway, upcoming metro extensions, and improved road networks, the city has become even more accessible for businesses and residents. This, coupled with Gurugram’s status as a corporate hub, has fueled an influx of professionals seeking premium housing. As connectivity and commercial activity continue to expand, we foresee Delhi-NCR continuing to remain a key driver of India’s property market.

Umesh Rathore, VP-Sales & Marketing at VVIP Group, emphasized the transformation of Delhi-NCR’s luxury housing segment, particularly in Noida-Greater Noida. He noted, “Luxury real estate in the region has evolved tremendously, driven by robust infrastructure, enhanced connectivity, and an increasing appetite for premium living. Noida-Greater Noida, in particular, offers aspirational homebuyers an ideal blend of opulence and investment potential at competitive prices. With property values appreciating and rental yields on the rise, Delhi-NCR is shaping up as India’s next major luxury real estate destination. As future developments unfold, we aim to create projects that cater to this growing demand in this thriving hub.”

Neeraj Sharma, MD of Escon Infra Realtors, underscored the growing investor interest in Delhi-NCR’s real estate market. “With the Noida International Airport nearing completion, land values along the Noida-Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway corridors have doubled. The upcoming 3,500-hectare Fintech City and dedicated zones for Japanese and Korean enterprises have further attracted developers to the region. As a result, prices along the Noida Expressway have surged by 66% since 2019. Additionally, private equity firms and REITs are channelling capital into Delhi-NCR’s luxury segment, banking on India’s rapid urbanization.”

Gurugram’s ascent as a premier real estate destination is intrinsically linked to its infrastructural advancements. Improved road networks, the expansion of metro corridors, and the development of the Dwarka Expressway have significantly enhanced connectivity to Delhi and other parts of the National Capital Region. These developments have boosted the region’s desirability, attracting both investors and homebuyers. The surpassing of Hyderabad and Mumbai in sales value further underscores investor confidence in Delhi-NCR’s real estate potential, driven by a flourishing startup ecosystem, a steady influx of multinational corporations, and rapid urban expansion.

As policy support strengthens, infrastructure continues to advance, and demand for luxury housing rises, experts believe that Delhi-NCR’s dominance in the real estate sector will persist, making it a prime location for both residential and commercial investments.

Cyber Threat Alert: India Drives Majority of Global Ransomware Attacks, Check Point Reports

Key Highlights for India:

  • India accounted for over 50% of the ransomware activity recorded throughout the entire year for Q424
  • India ranked as the second most affected country by ransomware attacks, with 20 reported incidents
  • The top 10 most targeted countries in 2024 remain nearly unchanged from 2023 with India replacing the Netherlands in the tenth position after recording 99 incidents a 38% increase from the previous year

In 2024, the ransomware landscape recorded 5,414 published attacks on organizations worldwide, representing an 11% increase compared to 2023. While the year began with a decline in ransomware activity during Q1, the frequency of attacks surged in Q2 and continued to rise through the remainder of the year. This culminated in a dramatic spike during Q4, which saw 1,827 incidents—33% of all ransomware attacks for the year—making it the most active quarter.

This can mostly be attributed to many new groups forming from the breakup of certain veteran groups detailed below. This led to many experienced affiliates forming professional new groups leading to a spike in attacks.

This year law enforcement actions targeting large ransomware operations like LockBit in February 2024, resulted in arrests, identity revelations of group leaders, and the seizure of cybercriminal infrastructure.

Active Group Surge

The crackdown on major ransomware groups led to their fragmentation, fostering increased competition among smaller ransomware gangs and enabling other threat actors to gain prominence. This shift is evident in the rise of 95 active ransomware groups in 2024, a 40% increase from the 68 groups active in 2023.

Among the 46 new groups that emerged, RansomHub stood out as a dominant force, even surpassing the well-established LockBit in activity. These new entrants, such as FOG, Lynx, APT73, and Eldorado, have reshaped the threat landscape, accounting for a growing share of ransomware incidents. Notably, the top 10 groups were responsible for 52.8% of attacks, highlighting both the influence of newcomers and a decline in the dominance of legacy groups.

Unsurprisingly, the U.S. remained the most targeted country, with 936 ransomware attacks within its borders. For the fourth quarter, India recorded 44 ransomware attacks, reflecting its growing vulnerability to such cyberattacks.

The combination of established leaders like RansomHub, LockBit, Play, Akira, IncRansom, and Medusa, alongside the rise of new groups, had devastating consequences for global organizations, seeing financial losses and disrupted operations.

With regards to sectoral targets, the business services sector continued to bear the brunt of ransomware attacks, mirroring trends from 2023, suffering 451 recorded attacks, followed by Retail and then Manufacturing, which saw a significant increase in ransomware activity over the last three months of the year with 201 incidents in Q4, a heightened focus on this industry by ransomware operators. The construction industry should be a growing concern, as ransomware incidents increased by 50% 2024 versus 2023. This surge jumped the construction industry to fourth place, overtaking the Financial, Education, and Healthcare sectors, that ranked higher in 2023.

Driving Forces Behind the Increase

  1. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS): This business model has democratized ransomware, enabling even novice threat actors to launch sophisticated attacks. Groups like RansomHub, which emerged as a dominant player with 531 attacks, exemplify the power of this model.
  2. Fragmentation: The takedown of major players spurred smaller, agile groups to fill the void, driving increased competition and innovation.
  3. Evolving Tactics: Threat actors are increasingly targeting Linux and VMware ESXi systems, recognizing their critical role in enterprise environments. Additionally, they are exploiting cloud-based tools for data theft and leveraging AI to enhance attack efficacy.

With these rising ransomware attacks, it is imperative that organizations must adopt a proactive, multi-layered approach to cyber security, including :

  • Comprehensive Threat Detection: Deploy solutions that offer real-time visibility into network activity and identify emerging threats.
  • Patch Management: Regularly update systems to address known vulnerabilities, particularly in Linux and VMware environments.
  • Education and Training: Equip employees with the knowledge to recognize phishing attempts and other common attack vectors.
  • Collaborative Defense: Work with industry peers and law enforcement to share intelligence and strengthen collective defenses.

Times Music Acquires Symphony Recording Co. and Arc MusicQ

Mumbai (March 18, 2025): Times Music announces today their acquisition of two leading Indian regional Record Labels – Symphony Recording Co. and ARC Musicq. These two deals are the company’s first acquisitions since partnering with Primary Wave Music, the world’s leading independent publisher of iconic and legendary music, in 2023. That partnership saw the publishing giant invest significant capital to help accelerate the company’s growth in the global markets. Both Symphony Recording Co. and ARC Musicq are exciting additions to the Times Music empire as both labels have established universal appeal in the growing Indian music markets.

Growing from a retail music store in 1983 to South India’s top devotional music label, Symphony Recording Co. maintains a position as the undisputed leader of Tamil spiritual and devotional music. Housing the largest catalogue in the genre, with over 350 audio and 100 video albums, Symphony’s collection of music is deeply embedded in Tamilian culture worldwide. With collaborations from legendary artists in the Indian music space like Dr. Balamurali Krishna, Dr. S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, and Chitra, the company has set industry benchmarks in music and video production. The label’s devotional songs contribute to a majority of its YouTube revenue, which has doubled in the past 4 years, and the label’s six channels have a viewership of nearly 2 billion. As Symphony continues to dominate the devotional and folk music space, this acquisition will now strengthen Times Music in the Tamil market as a Spiritual market leader.

ARC Musicq, a time-tested label whose music has been distributed by Times Music since 2017, also upholds a place as a leading Kannada music label. As a pioneer in the entertainment industry since its initial inception in 1985, the label has played a key role in the expansion of Indian folk music and film soundtracks, contributing to over 75% of A-grade movie OSTs. The company is home to a diverse collection of film, devotional, and folk music within the Kannada music market, which has also taken a major foothold across YouTube. The label’s four channels have seen significant growth, and much like Symphony Recording Co., has a viewership of over 2 billion views, with YouTube revenue having quadrupled in the past three years.

Spiritual and Devotional music finds itself having a strong and stable listenership across India as it transcends the country’s religion and caste system. With the rise of digital streaming platform investments surging in the past two years – over 230% according to Spotify’s Culture Next Report – these acquisitions situate Times Music as a major player in the spiritual and devotional genre and aim to strengthen the company’s presence in the Kannada music market.

“These acquisitions by Times Music represent a major milestone in the company’s growth journey and the Times Group’s ongoing expansion in the broader entertainment space,” Vineet Jain, Managing Director, Times Group shares.

Mandar Thakur, CEO, Times Music also notes, “Times Music has an array of exciting premium partnerships coming up and we are proud to work with Symphony Music & ARC Musicq catalogues to further their global appeal.”

Primary Wave Music’s David Loiterton adds, “Primary Wave partnered with Times Music because growth in our business will come from emerging markets like India, and there are libraries of legendary music that live in the hearts of local consumers.” He goes on, “These are the first of what we hope will be many more investments in legendary Indian music.”

Commenting on Company’s performance, Mr. Bharanidharan Pandyan, Jt. Managing Director, Quality Power Electrical Equipments Ltd, said:
“With the successful completion of our IPO in February 2025, raising ₹8,586 million (₹858.6 crore), we have entered a new phase of growth, well-positioned to drive operational excellence, innovation, and financial discipline. The capital raised is being strategically deployed towards capacity expansion, technological advancements, and targeted acquisitions, strengthening our foundation for sustained growth in an evolving power landscape.

In Q3 FY2025, our performance showcased resilience and operational efficiency. Revenue from Operations stood at ₹726 million (₹72.6 crore), impacted by project execution cycles and variations in demand across business segments. However, our focus on cost optimization, supply chain efficiencies, and a favorable business mix resulted in EBITDA growth of 63.2% YoY to ₹174 million (₹17.4 crore), with margins expanding to a record 24.0%. PAT rose by 44.6% YoY to ₹196 million (₹19.6 crore), reinforcing our profitability-driven approach. We maintained a strong order backlog of ₹5,170 million (₹517 crore) and an immediate order pipeline of ₹7,000 million (₹700 crore), underscoring sustained demand for our solutions across Quality Power Equipments, Endoks, and Mehru.

As part of our post-IPO strategy, we completed the acquisition of a 51% majority stake in Mehru Electrical & Mechanical Engineers for ₹1,200 million (₹120 crore). This acquisition significantly enhances our capabilities in high-voltage instrument transformers up to 500kV, expanding our market reach across India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Mehru’s strong R&D and manufacturing expertise unlock synergies, driving efficiency, technological innovation, and deeper market penetration.

To sustain our growth momentum, we are investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at E-5 and E-6 in Sangli, along with a new facility in Cochin, further strengthening our Power Products business. Additionally, we have secured a ₹1,250 million (₹125 crore) soft loan from Promoter Directors, ensuring financial flexibility to execute our expansion plans efficient. We continue to explore inorganic growth opportunities, with our dedicated M&A Committee actively evaluating potential acquisitions. The Board has authorized due diligence for acquiring a majority stake in STATCON Energiaa, which will further enhance our portfolio in advanced power solutions.

As we embark on this new chapter as a publicly listed company, our strategic priorities remain centered on expanding manufacturing capabilities, enhancing our product portfolio, and driving innovation through R&D investments. Our commitment to delivering sustainable growth, creating long-term value for our shareholders, and maintaining investor confidence remains unwavering. We are focused on executing our strategy with discipline and look forward to driving continued success for our customers, investors, partners, and stakeholders

Nuvama Recommends Buying Signature Global Shares, Expects Stock to Rise Up to 35Percentage

Brokerage firm Nuvama has recommended buying shares of Signature Global (India) Ltd, setting a target price of ₹1,436, which is 35% higher than the current market price. As of market closing on March 17, 2025, the stock was trading at ₹1,062.95 per share.

Strong Market Position & Growth Momentum

Signature Global has established itself as one of the largest real estate developers in NCR within just a decade. It started with affordable housing, gaining recognition for fast project launches and timely deliveries. Post-COVID, the company successfully shifted to premium housing, leading to 7.6 times rise in sales bookings over FY21–9MFY25.

With robust cash flows and low working capital needs, Signature Global is on track to achieve net cash status. Additionally, the real estate upcycle and its premium housing transition are expected to drive a 21% CAGR in pre-sales over FY25–27E.

Expanding Land Bank & Strong Profitability

Signature Global has built a substantial land bank of over 21 million sq. ft. for upcoming projects, with an estimated sales potential exceeding ₹350 billion. The company has strategically acquired land in high-growth micro-markets such as Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), Dwarka Expressway, and Sohna.

By keeping land costs low (just 10–15% of pre-sales value), the company has ensured healthy cash operating margins of 35%, with the potential to reach 40%.

Competitive Edge & Financial Stability

Top developers in Gurugram, like Signature Global, sell their projects quickly, benefiting from limited supply and customer preference for trusted developers. This results in minimal working capital needs and low capital investment per unit of pre-sales.

Due to strong collections and efficient operations, Signature Global has been able to expand its land holdings while keeping debt levels low.

Future Outlook: Achieving Net-Cash Status by FY27E

With rising cash collections and improving profitability, free cash flow is expected to continue increasing. Nuvama believes Signature Global is on track to achieve a net-cash status by FY27E, reinforcing its financial stability and long-term growth potential.
