India on Track to Become Asia's Real Estate Hub, Surpassing China
Real Estate News:India is poised to become the real estate capital of Asia, surpassing China in terms of growth rate, according to the 2024 GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 100 report. The country's real estate companies are valued at $36 billion in 2024, with the sector benefiting from a young population, increasing urbanization, and a growing middle class.

The implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has also enhanced transparency and accountability, boosting investor confidence. In contrast, China's real estate market is facing significant headwinds due to government clampdowns, demand slowdown, excess supply, and high debt levels among property developers.

According to Anas Rahman Junaid, Founder and Chief Researcher, Hurun India, 'With the middle class projected to reach 547 million by 2030, residential sales are expected to grow 10-12 per cent in FY 2024-25. Rising foreign investments of around US$ 4 billion yearly are further catalysing growth.'

The report also highlights the decline of China's real estate market, with the number of billion-dollar listed companies plummeting from 100 to just 30. In contrast, India's most valuable real estate firms have a cumulative value of Rs 14.2 lakh crore, more than the combined GDP of Oman and Sri Lanka.

The top real estate companies in India include DLF, Macrotech Developers, and Indian Hotels Company, with Adani Realty, K Raheja Group, and Aparna Construction's Estates being some of the most valuable unlisted companies.

The report also provides insights into the regional distribution of real estate companies in India, with the Western Region accounting for 41 per cent of the listed companies, followed by the Northern Region (29 per cent) and the Southern Region (28 per cent).
