13 Aug 2019 Evaluate

A joint study carried out by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) and CBRE has stated that India's economic transition, workforce expansion and urbanization will offer vast development and investment opportunities for the real estate sector in the next decade, leading to significant growth in housing, office, retail and warehousing space. It also noted that by 2030, the sector would expand immensely, led by new asset classes like coworking, coliving, student housing and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

The report projected that office space stock will touch one billion sq ft by 2030, with flexible workspace accounting for 8-10 percent of the total stock. It also estimated that the retail shopping centre stock will cross 120 million sq ft by 2030, whereas warehousing stock could touch 500 million sq ft by then. It pointed out that by the year 2030, residential real estate has the potential to almost double from the current stock of 1.5 million units in key cities.

According to the report, India continues to remain a high-priority market for long term growth potential as is evident from the increased investment flows in the last few years. It added that the country’s economic growth momentum is steady and it will only grow stronger in the next 10 years, as a result of positive policy reforms and emergence of a strong workforce.
