Data centres, warehousing, plots fuel small city land deals
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|July 17, 2025
While home sales continue to be dominated by top-tier metros, smaller cities are seeing a surge in land transactions driven by plotted developments, warehousing and data centres.
This uptick in activity, both via outright acquisitions and joint development agreements, is being fuelled by two parallel trends: large developers diversifying into emerging markets, and regional players expanding operations. Tier-II and III cities such as Sanand, Indore, Anmedabad, Amritsar, Coimbatore and Mysuru have seen a notable rise in land deals this year.
Land deals gained momentum post-pandemic, mainly led by the residential sales boom in major cities. Over time, developers began eyeing smaller markets for plotted layouts, logistics parks, and data centres.

Gurinder: Want to bring Bend It Like Beckham 2 before the World Cup
Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha, known for Bend It Like Beckham (2002) featuring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, earlier this year, hinted at working on the film's sequel. Now, speaking about that, she shares, “I couldn't think of an idea that would better the movie. But given the success of women’s football, the way the Indian diaspora has flourished around the world, and the impact the film has had socially and culturally, there is a global expectation. So, I'm exploring what we are going to do, how we are going to do it, and I have some good ideas. The FIFA Women’s World Cup is in 2027, and I want to make sure we do something that feels as exciting as being at a match there. Hopefully, we will release it before the World Cup.”
