The Indian economy has transformed substantively over the last two decades, growing consistently at an average of 8% and is poised to take its place among the leading economies in the years to come. Strong performance of the economy can be particularly attributed to healthy growth in manufacturing and service sector.

Substantial end user and investor interest, large scale investment in infrastructure and rapid urbanisation has contributed to the growth trajectory of Indian real estate. The real estate growth story is clearly visible in urban centres such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru which has acquired global character and recognition. The real estate sector in the country is one of great importance. According to the report of the Technical Group on Estimation of Housing Shortage, an estimated shortage of 26.53 million houses during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12) provides a big investment opportunity.
