The Reserve Bank of India's All-India House Price Index rose 3.6% year-on-year to 117.5 in Q1:2026-27, according to a press release from the central bank. On a quarterly basis, the index increased 1.1%.
The RBI attributed the annual rise mainly to cities such as Chandigarh, Jaipur, Kanpur, Lucknow and Thiruvananthapuram. NDTV Profit reported that the growth moderated from the 4.5% rise seen in the previous quarter. The index, with a base year of 2022-23, covers 18 major cities.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The RBI's press release leads with the headline figures and city-wise drivers, framing the data as a steady, broad-based rise. NDTV Profit's report adds the context of quarterly moderation, a detail the RBI release omits. The key difference is the emphasis: the RBI presents growth as stable, while the financial outlet highlights a slowdown. The all-India index still stands at a modest 117.5, and the next quarter's data will show whether the moderation continues or prices accelerate again.
