These cities are expected to establish a strong presence in India’s real estate market in the coming years.
Nagpur, located in Maharashtra, is a rapidly developing urban center.
Key projects such as the Multi-Modal International Cargo Hub and Airport (MIHAN), the Samruddhi Mahamarg (Vidhyanchal Expressway), and the Nagpur Metro are significantly enhancing connectivity and economic growth.
This has made Nagpur a significant hub for residential, commercial, and industrial investments, attracting attention from across the country.
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and famously known as the Pink City, is one of the earliest planned cities in India.
Jaipur’s economy is driven by tourism, gemstone cutting, jewelry manufacturing, luxury textiles, and the IT sector.
The city's growing infrastructure has made it a key manufacturing and IT hub, further boosting its real estate market.
Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, is also showing promising growth.
The city’s robust infrastructure, coupled with its strong educational and healthcare facilities, is attracting both investors and homebuyers.
The expansion of expressways in Lucknow is not only improving commuting but also promoting urban growth and supporting economic development.
Swapnil Anil, Managing Director, Advisory Services at Colliers India, emphasized the importance of expressway expansion in these cities.
'The expansion of expressways not only improves commuting but also promotes urban growth.
It supports economic development, encourages the creation of integrated townships and social infrastructure, and boosts tourism.
These factors collectively drive demand for real estate in the region, making it a promising investment opportunity for investors and homebuyers alike,' he said.
According to Swapnil, the current time is ideal for investing in land within the micro-markets of these emerging cities along expressways.
