Indian Real Estate: Once Again Attractive For
NRIs
Over the past few decades, the urge to ensure a better
standard of living for themselves and their families back home has led
countless Indians to migrate to countries offering attractive work-pay
equations. This income-generating objective is the highest common factor – and
though NRIs’ ties with their country of birth sometimes erode to a certain
extent, the willingness to turn a decent profit on investments back home does
not.
For a protracted period, investments in India did not offer
good returns, causing NRIs to choose to invest in the countries they migrated
to – or anywhere else where the markets were attractive. However, with the
resurgence of the Indian economy after the arrival of a stable government
intent on boosting business in the country, things are changing. Today, the
Indian realty market is once again a prime focus area for NRI investors.
The Indian realty sector as a whole – namely, across the
residential, retail, hospitality and commercial verticals – is slated to grow
at 30% over the next decade, attaining a market size of around USD 180 billion
by 2020. However, the investment opportunity lies less in the Indian real
estate sector’s speed of growth than in its overall dynamism. As such, it has
been time and again vouchsafed that long-term investments into Indian realty
pay off very well indeed as long as sound investment decisions have been taken.
Advantage NRI
NRIs today are keenly aware that Indian real estate once
again presents them with a very hot investment proposition. That said, they do
have their own leanings and predilections when it comes to where to invest.
Generally, the NRI community prefers to invest in their states of origin –
primarily Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Delhi NCR. However,
since residential inventory has piled up in the two major cities of Delhi (the
political capital) and Mumbai (the financial capital), investors are currently
very well placed to find good bargains in these markets, as most developers
there are offering discounts and attractive financial schemes.
The advantage that UAE-based NRIs (by far the largest
contingent) have is that they earn in Gulf currencies that have traded strongly
against the Indian National Rupee. This factor off-sets a part of the house
cost already. However, the rupee is bound to strengthen further, and the
advantageous difference between the currencies will reduce as the Indian
economy grows under a stable government at the centre
