Market context for property decisions
Compare published annual series for Indian assets, economic growth, inflation, and the rupee from 2005 to 2025. Use them as historical context—not as a forecast or a recommendation. Each chart names its source and explains any derived values.

After adjusting for published CPI inflation, a fixed ₹1 crore in 2025 has purchasing power equal to about ₹0.28 Cr in 2005 rupees. View the series →
Rupee–US dollar index
50.6 / 100
The index compares each year with 2005 = 100. The 2025 value is 50.6, based on the published USD/INR series. View the series →

How to read these
The multiple compares the 2025 value with 2005 (for example, 11.2× for gold). The CAGR expresses that change as a steady annual rate. Compare these figures with inflation and the rupee index to distinguish price growth from changes in purchasing power.

Why this context matters
Inflation, interest rates, economic growth, and currency movement can change how buyers interpret property prices and rental yields. These series provide context; they do not predict a property's return.
Purchasing power and currency context
These two curves are calculated from the sourced inflation and exchange-rate series above. Each card shows its formula.

Residential property benchmarks
No single residential-property chart is shown because RBI HPI and NHB RESIDEX use different base years and cannot be joined without additional rebasing assumptions. Free published national time series are also unavailable for commercial, industrial, retail and agricultural property. The verified benchmark notes below therefore remain separate.
Available published benchmarks
- 2010–2016Residential prices grew at double-digit annual rates, peaking near 26% YoY in late 2011 (RBI HPI, base 2010-11=100).RBI House Price Index
- 2017–2020Growth slowed to ~3.7% per year as demonetisation, GST and RERA repriced the market.RBI House Price Index
- 2025All-India HPI ≈ 124 (base 2022-23=100), i.e. ~24% above the 2022-23 level; NHB RESIDEX composite ≈ 102–104 on its newer 2024-25=100 base.RBI HPI / NHB RESIDEX

GDP growth, CPI inflation, USD/INR: World Bank indicators (NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG, FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG, PA.NUS.FCRF). ₹1-crore real value and the rupee index are computed from those sourced CPI/FX series with the formulas shown on each card. Figures are annual (calendar year). Where noted, 2025 precious-metal values are dated observations rather than full-year averages. Lines are not smoothed.
