India\u2019s <\/strong>luxury<\/strong> housing market is facing fresh supply-side strain due to delayed imports of high-end construction materials<\/strong> from the Middle East, Business Standard<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

Supply bottleneck hits premium builders: <\/strong>About 40% of under-construction luxury residential projects across India\u2019s top six big cities are currently facing a shortage of imported materials such as aluminum, glass facades, and fittings, industry executives told the daily.<\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/strong> Imported material costs in the luxury segment have spiked by 12-18% since the regional escalation began, driven by freight surcharges on affected sea lanes that have surged 40-60% above pre-conflict baselines. Aluminum for high-performance facades, curtain wall systems, and structural glazing \u2014 primarily sourced from the UAE and Bahrain \u2014 has seen prices jump 8-12% in the last quarter alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impact is most pronounced in the INR 50 mn and above segment<\/strong> where international specifications are the baseline, not the exception,\u201d Ashwinder R. Singh, co-founder of realty firm BCD Royale, told the daily. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>With selling prices largely fixed, rising costs are squeezing margins for developers. This is forcing some of them to increase pricing for future launches and potentially accelerate a pivot toward domestic suppliers even as demand for luxury housing currently remains resilient.<\/p>\n
