Data released by the authority earlier this week showed that the growth was not limited to project count alone. The number of approved residential and commercial units also rose sharply by 22.5 per cent to 84,976 units in 2025, up from 69,365 units in the previous year. Taken together, approvals across 2024 and 2025 crossed 1.54 lakh units, underlining sustained developer activity in the state.
Of the total units approved during 2025, residential developments accounted for a large share, with 62,672 units comprising flats, plots and villas. Commercial supply also expanded, with 22,304 units approved in the form of shops, studios and other formats, reflecting steady demand across asset classes.
While the National Capital Region continued to remain an important market, non-NCR districts accounted for a higher share of new registrations, pointing to a more even spread of real estate activity across Uttar Pradesh. Out of the 308 projects registered in 2025, 186 were located in non-NCR areas, compared to 170 non-NCR projects registered in 2024. NCR districts accounted for the remaining 122 projects during the year.
Among non-NCR markets, Lucknow emerged as a key centre with 67 registered projects. Mathura followed with 23 projects, while Bareilly and Agra recorded 15 and 14 projects respectively. The geographical footprint of registrations also widened, expanding to 27 districts in 2025 from 23 districts a year earlier. New activity was reported in districts such as Bulandshahr, Rampur, Chandauli, Unnao, Gonda, Mau and Mirzapur, together attracting an estimated investment of INR 1,027 crore.
Region-wise data showed western Uttar Pradesh leading the state in terms of scale, with 175 projects involving an investment of INR 55,620.43 crore and proposing over 60,000 units. The central region recorded 104 projects with an investment of INR 11,270.42 crore, while the eastern region saw 29 projects backed by investments worth INR 1,436.86 crore.
At the district level, Noida topped the chart with 69 projects and 37,199 approved units. Lucknow followed closely with 67 projects and 13,668 units, while Ghaziabad recorded 29 projects involving 10,747 units. In terms of investment value, Noida led with INR 37,161 crore, followed by Ghaziabad at INR 12,750 crore and Lucknow at INR 9,398 crore.
The authority also highlighted increasing real estate activity in religious and pilgrimage cities such as Ayodhya, Mathura, Varanasi and Prayagraj. This trend was linked to tourism-led demand, better transport connectivity and ongoing urban redevelopment initiatives, which have gained pace in recent years.
UP RERA Chairman Sanjay Bhoosreddy noted that the performance in 2025 reflected the authority's continued focus on transparency, accountability and consumer protection. He indicated that the rise in registrations, unit approvals and investments pointed to growing confidence in the regulatory framework, with the authority remaining committed to balanced regional development, timely project completion and safeguarding homebuyer interests.
