GST Revamp 2025: Will the Proposed 40% Slab on Luxury Fittings Spike Housing Costs?

The new GST overhaul proposes a 40% tax on imported luxury fittings, elevating the cost of ultra-luxury homes—buyers and developers may pivot to ‘raw apartments’ to save lakhs amid rising prices.

India’s upcoming GST revamp 2025 has sent shockwaves across the real estate sector. The GST Council is considering a 40% tax slab on imported luxury fittings and finishes—a move that could significantly increase the cost of ultra-luxury homes in India’s top real estate markets.

From Italian marble, premium flooring, modular kitchens, imported sanitary fittings, to branded wardrobes, almost every aspect of a high-end apartment could get costlier, making luxury housing less affordable for even high-net-worth buyers.

Traditionally, luxury housing projects in Gurugram, Noida, Delhi, and Mumbai include pre-fitted premium interiors. However, with the new 40% GST slab, developers may be forced to increase home prices to offset costs.

This could lead to a trend of ‘raw apartments’—where builders deliver unfinished homes without luxury fittings. Buyers would then have the freedom to customize interiors themselves, saving significantly on GST while still investing in prime locations and ultra-modern infrastructure.

Why Luxury Homebuyers Should Be Concerned

Impact on Developers & Market Dynamics

  • Developers: Builders in markets like Dwarka Expressway, SPR Gurugram, and Noida’s luxury sectors may restructure offerings, giving buyers options between semi-finished and fully furnished homes.

  • Homebuyers: Those seeking premium properties may have to rethink budgets, as the cost of luxury homes could rise by several lakhs.

  • Market Outlook: While demand for luxury real estate remains strong, pricing strategies will evolve. Some developers may absorb part of the GST impact to stay competitive.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Imported fittings = higher GST: Expect a 40% tax slab to apply on key luxury items.

  • Raw apartments may gain traction: Buyers could save big by finishing interiors post-possession.

  • Luxury demand stays resilient: Prime real estate hubs like Gurugram, Noida, and Delhi NCR will continue to attract buyers, albeit with shifting preferences.
