What This Means for Buyers and Investors 

For investors, the results highlight  continued opportunity in upcoming auctions , particularly for those seeking regulated assets with clear titles. End users benefit too, as stable markets and civic reinvestment support quality of life and long term value. 

Overall  from 2021 to 2025 the  Union Territory generated  more than ₹230 crore through property auctions with 2026 standing out as the highest revenue year during this period.
