The world economy has witnessed a paradigm shift. The impact of subprime mortgage crisis, crashing of the financial and real estate markets across economies has led to diminishing investor activities across markets. The Indian market has been no exception to this phenomenon. But the impacts has but been much lesser than other economies in the world. This is partly due to strong fundamentals, a stable political scenario and continued infrastructure investments in the country. This just goes to show how strong and profitable the real estate market in India can be long-term. Institutional Investors and Real Estate Hedge funds have invested huge-amounts in India over the last year in anticipation of the market rebounding and going back to where it was.

This along with strong population growth, a large pool of highly-skilled workers, greater integration with the world economy and increasing domestic and foreign investment are expected to drive India’s real GDP by over 8% p.a. over the next 10 to 15 years. Rising incomes, decreasing household sizes and a housing shortage of currently 20 million units will call for extensive residential construction. Consequently by 2030, India looks set to be the most populous country on earth. By 2050, roughly 1.6 billion people will live on the Indian subcontinent, 200 million more than in China. By 2030 India will need up to 10 million new housing units per year. In the coming five years, at least 55 million m² of extra office space must be completed in the premium office segment to meet with the IT outsourcing demand alone. This just goes to prove how profitable investments in a developing economy like India can be.

But the Indian real estate market is far behind in transparency as compared to the European or US standards.
