India, Dec. 26 -- Housing sales in the top seven Indian cities have dropped by 14% in 2025 to 3.95 lakh units compared to 4.59 lakh units sold in 2024, according to a report released by ANAROCK, a real estate consultancy firm.

The seven cities include Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata.
