Housing sales to remain soft unless developers shift focus from luxury to mid-income segment: Nuvama

Prestige Estates is Nuvama’s top real estate pick: But Nuvama flags a bigger problem in housing
Prestige Estates remains at the centre of Nuvama Research’s latest real estate sector update, even as the stock is down 23.42% over the past 6 months, while delivering a 290.91% return over 5 years. But Nuvama Research, in its latest sector note dated March 23, 2026, is not popping champagne.  The brokerage firm warns that the structural problems gnawing at housing demand, crumbling affordability, a stubborn love affair with luxury, and softening volumes have not gone away. Its verdict on housing stocks stays cautious, even as Prestige Estates holds its place as their top pick in the realty space.

Transforming Bengaluru-Chennai Connectivity: Whitefield-Bangarpet Quadrupling and key Railway expansions in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
The proposed Whitefield-Bangarpet Quadrupling project covers a 47-kilometre stretch between Whitefield and Bangarpet stations in Karnataka, forming part of the busy Bengaluru-Chennai inter-state corridor. The project involves laying two additional rail lines alongside the existing pair, with the current tracks reserved exclusively for passenger operations and the new additions dedicated to freight movement.  This operational separation is designed to slash waiting times for goods trains, bring greater punctuality to passenger schedules, and expand the corridor’s total carrying capacity. The route currently handles a diverse freight mix including steel, cement, petroleum products, fertilizers, and agricultural commodities which are all critical to regional and national supply chains.  Backed by existing freight terminals, the quadrupling is projected to bring down logistics costs, sharpen the competitive edge of Indian industry in global markets, and drive sustained economic growth across both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
