Mumbai property registrations during the 2026 Diwali period reached 3,683, the highest for the festive window in four years, according to data from the Maharashtra Department of Registration and Stamps analysed by consultancy Knight Frank India and released on 13 November.
The count covers 1 to 11 November. It is only 15 deals, or 0.4%, more than the 3,668 registrations in the same window of 2025. The bigger move was in money: revenue collections from these registrations rose 13% to ₹384 crore, from ₹339 crore a year ago.
Mumbai property registrations in Diwali 2026: the numbers
Knight Frank's four-year comparison shows how volatile the festive window has been. In 2023 the city logged 3,346 registrations worth ₹252 crore in revenue. That dropped to 2,339 registrations and ₹231 crore in 2024, before jumping 57% to 3,668 registrations in 2025.
This year's figure therefore holds on to last year's big rebound rather than adding to it. Revenue, however, has risen for two straight years and is now about 52% higher than in 2023.
A simple division gives a sense of the shift. Revenue per registration works out to roughly ₹10.4 lakh this Diwali, against about ₹9.2 lakh last year. That is a BrickBharat calculation from the reported totals, not a Knight Frank figure.
Why revenue rose faster than deals
Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director of Knight Frank India, said the city's "residential market has maintained a steady pace of activity through the festive season". He added that the 13% increase in collections "points to a higher value of transactions being registered".
Stamp duty in Mumbai is charged as a percentage of the property's value, so revenue climbs when buyers register larger or costlier homes even if the number of deals stays flat. The data does not split collections by stamp duty and registration fees.
The wider 2026 trend
The Diwali figures sit inside a firm year for the city. Mumbai recorded 12,690 registrations in October 2026, up 9% year on year. Between January and October, registrations totalled 1,32,040, about 7% more than in the first ten months of 2025.
Other festive windows were also busy. The Navratri period, 11 to 19 October, saw 4,680 registrations, while the Shraddh period logged 3,419, according to figures carried by the Free Press Journal.
Registrations count both new sales and resale deals, and they are recorded when documents are lodged. They can therefore lag the actual booking of a home by weeks or months.
What it means for you
For buyers, flat volumes alongside rising values suggest the market is not seeing a festive rush that would push developers to cut prices. Discounts and offers announced during Diwali are worth checking against the final registered price, which includes stamp duty.
For sellers and investors, the steady deal count and higher average values point to continued demand at the upper end. Buyers relying on home loans should also factor in this year's rate increases while budgeting, since EMIs, not just the ticket price, decide affordability.
