Will India-Pakistan War Impact Mumbai Real Estate? A 2025 Market Insight

Introduction
With recent geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan making headlines, many property buyers and investors are asking:
“Will a war-like situation affect the Mumbai real estate market?”
The short answer: Yes—but temporarily.
In this article, Sheetal Properties explores how border tensions can influence buyer sentiment, investor confidence, construction activity, and real estate pricing in India’s most dynamic city—Mumbai.
Understanding Market Sensitivity
1. Investor Sentiment & Economic Uncertainty
During war-like situations, investor sentiment typically becomes cautious. Most buyers delay decisions, particularly in the luxury and second-home segments. However, Mumbai’s real estate market is largely end-user driven, especially in areas like:
- Andheri West
- Lokhandwala Complex
- Oshiwara
- New Link Road
These zones continue to attract stable demand due to limited land and constant rental returns.

2. Impact on Construction Costs
War-related tensions can lead to a rise in crude oil prices and disruption in supply chains. This causes:
- Increase in steel, cement, and fuel costs
- Delays in project deliveries
This is crucial for developers in SRA and redevelopment projects, such as those in Lokhandwala and Oshiwara. Hence, pre-RERA approvals and builder track record become critical during such times.

How Has Mumbai Fared in Past Tensions?
Historically, the Mumbai real estate market has remained resilient during short-term conflicts or border escalations.
- Post-Kargil (1999): The market showed a dip in transaction volumes for 2–3 months but rebounded quickly.
- After the 2016 Uri Attack and Balakot airstrikes: Stock markets dipped temporarily, but the real estate market remained stable in metros.
What Should Buyers & Investors Do Now?
For End-Users:
If you are planning to buy a house for self-use, continue your home search. War situations do not drastically drop Mumbai property prices.
For Investors:
Focus on ready-to-move or near-completion projects in high-demand localities like:
- Evershine Cosmic, Oshiwara
- Versova and Lokhandwala
- DN Nagar, Andheri West

External Opinions from Experts
According to a report by Knight Frank India, geopolitical events typically cause short-term dips in buyer sentiment, but metros like Mumbai bounce back within one or two quarters.
Also, Reuters India highlighted that infrastructure development and housing needs in Indian cities outweigh short-term disruptions due to border tensions.
Conclusion: Stay Informed, Not Afraid
While news of war can trigger anxiety, it’s important to evaluate the long-term fundamentals of Mumbai real estate:
✅ High demand
✅ Low inventory in prime locations
✅ Stable rental yields
✅ Massive infrastructure upgrades (Metro, Coastal Road, etc.)
If you’re ready to make a move, don’t delay your decision due to temporary uncertainties.
