Mumbai’s property registrations rise in September 2026, reaching about 12,6xx units and marking the highest September level in more than 14 years. Multiple outlets cite a year-on-year increase of roughly 5% compared with September 2025, with Business Line specifying 12,610 registrations by September 30. Free Press Journal reports 12,622 registrations for the month, based on Maharashtra Department of Registrations and Stamps data analyzed by Knight Frank India.
Context for the month’s activity centers on the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, which runs from mid- to late September. Free Press Journal says 5,379 registrations occur during the festival period (September 14 to 25, 2026), up 22% year-on-year, and that the period generates over half of the month’s total stamp duty collections. It reports stamp duty receipts of ₹1,227 crore for September, up against a 5% year-on-year decline, attributing this to changes in the transaction mix rather than a fall in registration volumes.
While all outlets emphasize the September registration milestone and the festival’s contribution, their figures differ slightly in the monthly totals (12,610 vs 12,622) and level of detail on stamp duty and the exact festival window.
