Co-Residing Inventory In India To Reach 1 Million Beds Through 2030
Currently estimated at around 0.3 million beds within the organized market, the demand has rebounded strongly in current years, and operators gearing up for growth throughout tier 1 and select 2 towns said the record by means of Colliers India.
The document stated that the resurgence of the sector is being fueled by rapid urbanization and migration to towns, especially among students and young experts who are looking for flexible, particularly low-priced, community-driven, and trouble-free housing alternatives.
Following a temporary lull for the duration of the pandemic, the call for co-dwelling is regaining momentum, driven by using the inherent strengths of the sector.
Evolving demographic styles, schooling and employment-pushed city migration, growing disposable incomes, and a growing desire for fully managed rental hotels are all contributing to a sustained upward thrust in demand for organized co-dwelling areas.
Of the estimated 50 million migrant population in urban india aged between 20 and 34 years in 2025, the call for a base for organized co-dwelling quarters in terms of beds is currently envisioned at 6.6 million.
Given the intrinsic nature of call for, main operators are in an expansionary mode. As the co-living inventory is ready to attain close to 1 million beds by 2030, penetration charges can appreciably improve from 5% to over 10% with the aid of the end of the decade, the record mentioned.
"India's co-dwelling sector is entering a new section of increase, underpinned by sturdy demographic basics and a growing desire for bendy, network-centric residing. With speedy urbanization and an excessive percentage of migrant population, along with students and young operating experts, the demand for organized condominium housing, particularly co-dwelling, is possibly to witness a robust boom," said Badal Yagnik, chief government officer, Colliers India.
Widespread upside capacity is predicted to provide thrust to investor participation and operator enlargement in the co-residing quarter.
Typically, co-dwelling areas offer a cheaper alternative across predominant indian cities. As of april 2025, a contrast of rents between single-occupancy co-living centers and traditional 1 BHK units suggests a rental arbitrage of up to 35 percent, said the record.
