It was the first edition held in India. Post-event coverage by Punjab Narrative reported more than 2,000 delegates from over 35 countries; that figure has not been independently audited in the sources reviewed.
What IREC 2026 was—and who hosted it
IREC is an international real-estate event platform. Its organizer says the conference began in Manila in 2015. For the 2026 edition, the event was awarded to the National Association of Realtors–India (NAR-India), with the Hyderabad Realtors Association (HRA) operationally hosting it in Hyderabad.
The international framing reflects the event’s seventh edition and its first Indian host city. Post-event reporting described discussions involving perspectives from markets including the United States, Dubai, the Philippines, Georgia, Canada, Japan, Mongolia, China, Korea, Taiwan, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam. That is a list of markets represented in reported discussions, not a verified or complete list of delegates’ countries.
How the three event platforms differed
The programme combined a property expo, a conference and a technology showcase. Their dates and stated roles were distinct:

| Platform | Dates | Focus |

| Global Conference | 26–27 September 2026 | Insights and partnerships |
| Innovation Showcase | 26–27 September 2026 | Technology and trade |
Coverage of the conference programme identified subjects including institutional and cross-border investment, buyer preferences, affordable housing, branded residences, tokenisation, urban development, PropTech, artificial intelligence, data and DeepTech. The event also included the launch of the India Housing Report.
Housing figures presented alongside the event
The India Housing Report, published by CRE Matrix and NAR-India and reported as launched in connection with IREC, covered India’s Tier-I housing markets in the first half of calendar year 2026 (H1 CY2026). Its figures are national Tier-I-market measures—not Hyderabad-only numbers or full-year results.
| Measure | Reported H1 CY2026 figure | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Primary housing sales value | ₹3.63 lakh crore | India’s Tier-I housing markets |
| Units sold | Approximately 2.58 lakh | India’s Tier-I cities |
| Average ticket size | ₹1.41 crore | India’s Tier-I housing markets |
| Share of national housing sales value attributed to MMR | 26% | MMR’s share of the reported national value |
| Change in sales value for Bengaluru | 25% growth | Bengaluru, H1 CY2026 |
These are report figures attributed to CRE Matrix and NAR-India, rather than measures of IREC attendance or outcomes. The sales-value growth figure is for Bengaluru; the report figures should not be read as a forecast or as proof that the conference caused market changes.
What organizers said the conference was meant to do
Punjab Narrative quoted NAR-India Chairman Sumanth Reddy Arani describing the event as a way to build international connections and enable Indian real estate to engage more directly with global markets. The article printed this statement: “IREC 2026 marks an important milestone for Indian real estate. India has reached a stage where our developers, professionals and projects are increasingly operating at global standards. The next step is to build stronger international connections and create platforms that allow India to engage directly with global markets. Bringing IREC to Hyderabad is an opportunity to open those doors and position Indian real estate within a much larger global ecosystem.”
Press Network of India also attributed a shorter statement to IREC 2026 Chair Shailender Singh: “The idea behind IREC 2026 is simple, to create a platform that connects India with what is happening next in global real estate.” These are reported statements of intent, not independent evidence that the event produced particular partnerships or investment results.

The reported total of 2,000-plus delegates from more than 35 countries comes from Punjab Narrative’s post-event coverage. The sources reviewed do not establish an independent attendance audit, so the count is best understood as a reported event figure rather than a verified tally.
