The Indian real estate sector may be down but it is definitely not out. Global real estate major Jones Lang LaSalle believes that the Indian market is still promising. Now the question that arises is the realty boom really over? Colin Dyer, Global CEO, Jones Lange LaSalle, said, “We find that very attractive if the Indian economy could introduce Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) particularly if the level of leverage were to be allowed to be over 20%, which has been mooted, and particularly if foreign investors were allowed to invest in Indian REIT paper, it would be a very attractive way to provide very liquid access to real estate for Indian and international investors.”
He is very positive about India for the medium and long-term. For the medium and long-term, the Indian economy is growing even currently at 5% whilst in Germany and the US it is declining 5%. So, this is comparatively a very good economy. It is a place that we feel confident will pick-up very quickly and will grow very strongly for the medium and long-term, he stated.
