For decades, stocks have been hailed as the smarter investment—offering liquidity and lower transaction costs. Yet, the ultra-wealthy in India see real estate differently.
Consider the Numbers:
13 billionaires have emerged from real estate, including industry leaders like Rajiv Singh (DLF Limited) and Mangal Prabhat Lodha (Lodha Group).
Luxury property prices have jumped 40% in just two years.
India’s REIT market skyrocketed from ₹4.5L crore to ₹13L crore in just four years, becoming the fastest-growing REIT market in Asia Pacific.
The ultra-rich aren’t merely buying properties—they’re investing in the institutionalization of Indian real estate.
So, the debate isn’t whether real estate outperforms stocks but why it remains a cornerstone of wealth creation in India.
Are we missing a real estate goldmine?
Or is this simply another case of “the rich get richer”?
What’s your take?
