With the increasing real estate demands, the sector holds the potential to be the primary economic pillar of the country. Regions like Delhi-NCR have emerged as major contributors to this development, witnessing a 3% growth in housing sales and projecting as one of the biggest realty hubs in the country.

The Millennium City Gurgaon is a prime example of how improved infrastructure not only enhances the lifestyle but also supports economic activities in the surrounding areas.
The commercial real estate sector includes large-scale infrastructure development, including office buildings, malls, hotels, industrial parks, etc., which brings forth jobs in construction, architecture, property management, and many more. Cities with quality commercial real estate attract foreign and domestic businesses, further fostering business expansion and enhancing productivity.
