Real Estate Sector Poised for 20% FDI Growth by 2025
Real Estate:The Indian real estate sector has emerged as a significant contributor to the country's economic growth, with foreign direct investment (FDI) in the sector expected to grow at an impressive rate of 20% by 2025. According to industry experts, this growth will be driven by rapid urbanization, the development of smart cities, and relaxations in FDI regulations. The sector has already become the largest employment provider in the country, and this growth is expected to further boost employment opportunities.

The government's introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) has brought much-needed transparency to the sector, leading to disciplined growth and sustainability solutions. Since its enactment, over 1.25 lakh projects have been registered under RERA across the country.

Industry leaders believe that the housing and real estate sector needs a constant push to achieve the goal of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. This push will not only generate more employment opportunities but also contribute significantly to the country's GDP. The real estate sector is currently valued at Rs 24 lakh crore, with a GDP contribution of around 13.8%.

In a bid to provide 'ease of living' and dignity to millions of Indians, the government has decided to further expand the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and construct 3 crore additional rural and urban houses. This move is expected to give a significant boost to the sector, attracting more foreign investment and driving growth.
