India: An Emerging Market for the Long-Term Investment
Indian Real Estate is one of the most recognized sectors, that has witnessed a surge in flow of foreign investments.
Stable government and implementation of reforms such as the GST is helping India attract the highest interest of global investors. While Real Estate Regulation and Development Act (RERA), Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demonetization has already been implemented, the Benami Property Act promises to make residential real estate far more transparent than it was ever before. This has enhanced the confidence of global investors in the Indian economy. Also, the new real estate rules have simplified the process of property buying for NRI’s.
Looking forward, the real estate investment industry will find itself at the center of rapid economic and social change and the NRI sector will play a key role in the growth story of Indian economy.
