For generations of Indians living overseas, buying property in India has carried an emotional significance that often goes beyond the investment itself.
A home in India meant staying connected to family, having a place to return to, or building something to pass on to the next generation.
That connection remains, but the economics around it are changing.
India is in the middle of a real estate expansion that is changing both the scale of the market and the opportunities within it.
A joint KPMG-NAREDCO study estimates that the industry could grow from around $290 billion in 2025 to $970 billion by 2030, driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, rising incomes, and greater institutional participation.
