FICCI and JLL have released a report titled 'Future of India Real Estate: Deciphering the Mid-term Perspective' at the 12th edition of FICCI Real Estate Summit. The report analyses the drivers and challenges facing the sector in the next 2 to 3 years. The rapid urbanisation is expected to offer significant opportunities for real estate and infrastructure development in Indian cities. This sector has witnessed high growth in recent times with the rise in demand for office as well as residential spaces. It is also important to note that the real estate developers have been instrumental in changing the face of India through building state-of-the-art infrastructure, buildings, townships, shopping malls spread all over the country.
India's recovery from the effects of demonetization and GST is reflected in 2018 Q1 GDP clocking an impressive 8.2% growth. CPI inflation, which has been a concern in the recent past, is expected to remain at 4.7% in the annual forecast for median inflation (2018-19 and 2019-20). Apart from the macro-economic indicators, inflection points observed within each category of real estate markets indicate an overall stable growth in the medium term.
