Senior Living in Indian Real Estate: A Niche Market for the Affluent
Real Estate News:The concept of senior living has been prevalent in the Western world for decades, but it's still a nascent industry in India. Despite the country's rapidly aging population, the senior living sector remains underdeveloped and largely unaffordable for the masses.

According to industry experts, senior housing projects in the market today are affordable only for high networth individuals (HNIs) and those with strong savings. This is largely due to the high cost of land acquisition, construction, and maintenance, which makes it difficult for developers to offer affordable options.

In India, the senior living sector is largely driven by the demand for luxury and premium housing options. Most senior living projects are designed with luxurious amenities and services, catering to the needs of affluent retirees. These projects often come with a hefty price tag, making them inaccessible to the average Indian citizen.

The lack of government support and regulations governing the senior living sector has also hindered its growth. Unlike in Western countries, where governments offer incentives and subsidies for senior living, India lacks a comprehensive policy framework to support the industry.

However, some developers are trying to change this narrative by offering affordable senior living options. These projects are designed to provide a comfortable and secure living environment for seniors, without the luxury tag.

The Indian real estate sector has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by the demand for affordable housing. However, the senior living sector remains a niche market, catering mainly to the affluent.
