As opposed to this, large property developers in India are bullish on to push their financial growth than their counterparts in the Asia Pacific region for the next few years.
Stocks of realty majors such as DLF, Parsvnath Developers Ltd, Anant Raj Industries Ltd, Ansal Properties Ltd, Sobha Developers, Unitech Ltd, and others are likely to perform better than those in other prime Asian markets like China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, says top property developers in the Asia Pacific region report compiled by JP Morgan, one of the world’s leading investment banks.
