India's Emerging Real Estate Hotspots: 17 Cities to Watch
Real Estate:India's real estate sector is on the cusp of a significant transformation, driven by the growth of smaller towns and cities. According to a report by Colliers India, 17 high-potential cities are expected to witness accelerated real estate development across three or more asset classes. These cities, including Ayodhya, Varanasi, Puri, Dwarka, Shirdi, Tirupati, and Amritsar, are spread across the Northern, Southern, Western, Eastern, and Central regions of the country.

The growth of these cities is driven by spiritual tourism, infrastructure projects, and digitization. The government's policy support and infrastructure developments have created an ideal environment for spiritual tourism to flourish, attracting organized real estate players to these destinations.

Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India, notes that smaller towns are emerging as dynamic contributors to India's economy, driven by improved infrastructure, affordable real estate, skilled talent, and government initiatives. This growth is expected to propel the real estate sector to an estimated USD 1 trillion by 2030 and potentially USD 5 trillion, a 14-16 per cent share in GDP by 2050.

The real estate development in these cities is expected to be significant, with momentum building across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and industrial segments. Alternate asset classes such as data centers, senior living, and second homes are also poised for significant activity in these emerging real estate hotspots.

Colliers India has identified 30 potentially high growth cities from over 100 cities, where real estate development is set to strengthen in the medium to long-term. The geographical spread of these cities highlights equitable growth across the country.
