WHY INDIA

The Opportunity Everyone Is Talking About.

The India decade


India is no longer an emerging market. It is central to every serious conversation in global real estate. The country is on track to a $7 trillion economy by 2030. Real estate is projected to reach $1 trillion in sector value and contribute 13 to 15 percent of national GDP by the end of the decade. The scale is changing how global investors build their portfolios. The pace is changing what is possible within a single investment cycle.

The capital has arrived. Around $8.5 billion a year now flows into Indian real estate from sovereign wealth funds, pension capital, private equity and long-term global investors. RERA has strengthened transparency and governance, making the market institutionally investable in a way it was not a decade ago. Global Capability Centres, logistics and data centres are expanding quickly, supported by a $1.4 trillion national infrastructure pipeline. To be serious about global real estate is to be serious about India. IREC 2026 is where that conversation begins.
