Invest in India
The Government has shown keen interest in developing the Real Estate sector by relaxing FDI norms, allowing market participants to access foreign capital. Now NRI’s and OCB’s (Overseas Corporate Bodies) can invest upto hundred percent in the real estate industry and building construction ventures.
India, the part of ‘vibrant Asia’ is slowly pushing its markets to the apex point, competing with the rest of the world. The super heated real estate market has masked a subtle shift from the low to the high. Real estate in India is attracting investors in huge numbers. It is selling faster than the agents can advertise it!
In February 2005, the Indian government liberalized laws to encourage FDI in real estate. This resulted in many MNC’s entering the country and FDI flowing in dramatically. NRI’s and OCB’s (Overseas Corporate Bodies) are now allowed to invest upto hundred percent in the real estate industry and building construction ventures, while only 1.1 percent investment was allowed earlier.
Investors have reported an astronomical growth in profitability at the back of the real estate boom. So, the rise in residential and commercial real estate investment in India comes as no surprise. The most coveted cites are Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Bangalore and Pune.
The Indian commercial property business is prospering. It gives you international standards at Asian prices. The commercial properties for sale in India present a glut of opportunities. Even the residential arena has come of age. And now, a residential home in Delhi is more than just a home. Its about lifestyle. The list of ‘conveniences’ offered is never ending. The builders are resorting to tricks like ‘made to order homes’ and ‘theme-based complexes’, it all about what the customer wants.
Residential estate in Mumbai is also living upto the global standards. Buy a home in Mumbai and you know that you have made the ‘investment of a life time’ in terms of the returns the property will bring you. The commercial properties in Mumbai also appear to make a happy tale. What else would you expect from the commercial hub of the country?
It is true that the demand for real estate in the Indian market is on a never-before high. The better connectivity, better facilities, upcoming world class infrastructure are all contributing to the boom. The economy if the country is expanding at a great pace and this phenomenon has also transcended all its sectors, undoubtedly real estate is one of them.
