How Big is the India Rental Housing Industry ?

The rental housing market in India size was valued at USD 2.7 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 4.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.56% during 2025-2033. 

India Rental Housing Market Trends:

The dynamic shifts have swept across the Indian rental housing market, caused by urbanization, shifting dwelling environments, and economic factors. A key trend unfolding across the urban landscapes is an increased general acceptance of co-living among millennials and young professionals as an affordable contemporary housing solution centered on community. Further, the second trend to gain acceptance is flexible leases, as tenants now shy away from long-standing, medium-to-long-term leases. Meanwhile, the migration of corporate professionals and students to metro cities has led to a surge in demands for fully furnished and serviced apartments. Further, the digitalization of the renting process is streamlining search, virtual tours, and online signing, thereby acting to bolster convenience for both tenants and landlords.

However, considering that the hybrid work culture of post-pandemic times has generated demand for rental properties in suburban areas where employees juggle remote work with occasional time at the office, a layer of rural charm lingers over the allure of these commercial properties for sale. The emergence of proptech platforms is another interesting facet turning the tide in favor of tenants and landlords as these platforms incorporate AI-filtered matchmaking and automated rent collection professionalism to the rental market, with standardized contracts and better maintenance services. The market is also witnessing a preference for green buildings, as environmentally conscious tenants seek energy-efficient homes with sustainable amenities.
