New home offerings, more influx of NRI’s and a drastic change in people’s lifestyle has caused the spurt of demand for luxury homes that are sold at a price tag from 1 Crore upto 20 Crore rupees.

The rise in the demand of luxury homes has caused the developers to come up with many plans and schemes to promote luxury housing in every metro of the city. Luxury homes for every budget is created and promoted successfully meeting every need of the consumers.
