Our service offerings for the Real Estate and Construction industry

The Indian infrastructure (construction) and real estate industry is playing key role in the nation’s progress towards achieving the status of ‘developed nation’ from a ‘developing nation’. However, there is a consensus that infrastructure inadequacies would constitute a significant constraint in realising our growth potential.

An ambitious program of infrastructure investment has therefore been evolved for strengthening and consolidating recent infrastructure and real estate related initiatives. To supplement the estimates of Gross Capital Formation in infrastructure, the Planning Commission has made projections of public-private investments in each sector, basing these on a detailed review of sectoral trends and projected expenditures.

The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the country's economy, which is second only to agriculture in terms of employment generation and contributes heavily towards the gross domestic product (GDP). About five per cent of the country's GDP is contributed to by the housing sector.

Almost 80 per cent of real estate developed in India is residential space, the rest comprising of offices, shopping malls, hotels and hospitals. According to the Tenth Five-Year-Plan, there was a shortage of 22.4 million dwelling units. Thus, over the next 10 to 15 years, 80 to 90 million housing dwelling units will have to be constructed with a majority of them catering to middle- and lower-income groups.

Between April 2000 and about end of 2014, the construction development sector received about $24 bn, constituting 10 per cent of the overall FDI into the country during the period.
