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.'
