Practice Areas > Construction / Infrastructure

The Indian real estate sector and infrastructure sector has witnessed a revolution, driven by the booming economy, favourable demographics and liberalised foreign direct investment (FDI) regime. Growing at the scorching rate of 30%, it has emerged as one of the most appealing investment areas for domestic as well as foreign investors.

A network to profit

The second largest employing sector in India (including construction and facilities management) real estate is linked to about 250 ancillary industries like cement, brick and steel through backward and forward linkages. Consequently, a unit increase in expenditure in this sector has a multiplier effect and the capacity to generate income is as high as five times.

Higher demand equals better opportunities

According to 'Housing Skyline of India 2007-08', a study by research firm, Indicus Analytics, there will be demand for over 24.3 million new dwellings for self-living in urban India alone by 2015. Consequently, this segment is likely to throw huge investment opportunities. In fact, an estimated US$ 25 billion investment will be required over the next five years in urban housing, says a report by Merrill Lynch.

Many multi-national corporations and investors are diving into this flourishing pool of economic growth. Power projects, road and pipeline construction and ports are among the most popular investments that are taking off with foreign investors.
