The real estate sector in Dadra & Nagar Haveli, particularly in and around Silvassa, is witnessing rapid transformation. The rise in housing demand—driven by an influx of industrial workers, white-collar employees, and improved infrastructure—has triggered a new wave of residential construction projects.

Prominent developers and housing cooperatives have announced multiple ongoing and upcoming projects in areas such as:

• Amli

• Tokarkhada

• Vasona

• Rakholi

These projects include low-rise apartments, row houses, and group housing societies ranging from 1BHK to 3BHK units, targeting middle-income families, first-time homeowners, and relocated industrial employees.

According to the local Department of Urban Development, a new ‘Smart Layout Regulation Policy’ has helped simplify approvals and is encouraging developers to follow environmental norms and structural guidelines. Moreover, the digitization of land ownership records and sale deeds is reducing fraud and expediting processes.

Highlights of the current development wave include:

• Subsidized housing under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-U) for eligible families.

• Loan tie-ups with local banks offering interest subsidies for homebuyers.

• Mandatory inclusion of green space, sewage systems, and rainwater harvesting in new plans.

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) has also issued fresh guidelines for ongoing projects, ensuring accountability from developers and protecting consumer rights.

Experts predict that over 5,000 new homes will be ready for possession by mid-2026, with the rental market also seeing a 12–15% rise in key sectors.

Builders have welcomed the government's push, stating that better road access and utility provisioning have made previously low-interest zones highly attractive for investment.

However, some local residents have raised concerns about unchecked land use and the risk of unplanned urbanization. Urban planners are calling for balanced growth, with focus on infrastructure before saturation.

Key Insights:

• Real estate expanding fast in Silvassa, Amli, Rakholi.

• Over 5,000 new homes expected by 2026.

• Government pushing PMAY, digital land records, and layout reform.

• Rental and resale values up by 12–15%.
