Square Yards partners with RBI Innovation Hubto digitise 100M property records for e-valuation and title search services.

New Delhi, Apr 08: Square Yards, India’s largest integrated real estate platform announced that its Data Intelligence Platform has successfully digitised over 100 million property registration records, creating one of India’s largest structured repositories of real estate transaction data. The milestone marks a decisive step in transforming India’s fragmented, paper-heavy property records landscape into a reliable, intelligence-driven digital ecosystem.

In a parallel development that underscores the platform’s credibility, Square Yards has signed a Platform Service Provider Agreement with the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub (RBIH) a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India to offer e-Valuation and Title Search services through RBIH’s Unified Lending Interface (ULI). This positions Square Yards as a cornerstone of India’s national digital lending infrastructure.

Powering India’s Real Estate Data Infrastructure

The platform integrates insights from India’s ‘Big Four’ public data sources: Property Registrations (IGR), Online Listings, Regulatory Data (RERA), and Government Benchmarks such as circle rates. Together, these sources enable a contextual, multi-dimensional understanding of real estate activity at both macro and micro-market levels.

The structured dataset captures critical data points including property identifiers (building/locality, unit details, survey or plot numbers), area metrics (carpet and super built-up area), transaction values (consideration value and circle rate), buyer-seller information, and registration timelines. The platform currently covers Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Kerala with plans to expand coverage further.

A key differentiator is the platform’s reliance on actual transaction values rather than estimates, supported by legally valid property title records and validated against prevailing circle rates. Advanced data processing workflows standardise diverse data formats including PDFs and scanned documents while managing regional language diversity and unstructured address data.

“Crossing 100 million digitised property records is not just a milestone for Square Yards it is a defining moment for India’s real estate ecosystem as a whole. Our mission has always been to transform highly fragmented, complex registration data into a structured, intelligence-led platform that every stakeholder can truly rely on. By integrating into public digital infrastructure like the ULI, we are laying the foundation for faster, more transparent, and data-driven lending and decision-making at scale. This is the kind of innovation that bridges the long-standing gap between India’s physical property markets and its digital financial infrastructure.”Tanuj Shori, Founder & CEO, Square Yards

Awards & Recognition

Looking Ahead

Square Yards will continue to scale coverage across additional states, improve data standardisation, and enhance analytical capabilities as new records are onboarded. The platform supports a broad range of use cases including market analysis, valuation benchmarking, risk assessment, and policy research serving developers, financial institutions, investors, advisory firms, and public sector researchers.

For home buyers, the platform brings long-overdue transparency to one of life’s biggest financial decisions enabling them to benchmark prices against actual registered transaction values, verify ownership histories, and assess title risks in minutes rather than weeks. For lenders, AI-powered e-Valuation and Title Search reports reduce over- or under-lending risks, provide a clear audit trail of ownership, and enable faster loan sanctions with significantly lower default exposure. Available at a nominal cost, these services make critical property intelligence accessible to all stakeholders ensuring that every step of the transaction, from purchase to financing, is more informed, transparent, and secure.
