India's Real Estate Sector Rises to Transparency Tier in Global Rankings
Real Estate Mumbai:India's real estate sector has made a significant improvement in the Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI), which evaluates real estate markets on various parameters. The index, published by JLL, a real estate services company, is a benchmark for real estate market transparency that evaluates the legal and regulatory environment, enforcement mechanisms, and data availability across a wide range of geographies.

According to the index, India has made a remarkable leap forward in this year's index, reaching the transparent tier for the first time. This progress is a result of institutionalisation in the commercial market and improved access to diverse real estate datasets.

India's ranking in the index is above countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. India has moved to 31st rank under the transparent tier with a composite score of 2.44 in GRETI 2024. The top slot under the High Tier has been taken by the United Kingdom (1.24) and France (1.26).

The improvement in the ranking of India's real estate to the transparent sector will help to attract capital inflows and boost India's standing among global investors. The index showed that globally, real estate markets with high transparency ratings garner 80 per cent of global capital flows.
