MUMBAI, 22 APRIL, 2024 (GPN): India’s real estate sector has shown remarkable growth in recent years and is poised for unprecedented expansion by 2050.

Currently, real estate contributes approximately $350 billion, or about 10% of India’s GDP. This percentage is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. According to a recent report by CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India), real estate’s share is set to exceed 13% of GDP soon and is also projected to become the highest employment provider in the country. Government reports suggest that the sector’s share could soar to around 20% by the time India becomes a $5 trillion economy by the end of 2025.

Growth Projections by 2050

By 2050, India’s GDP is projected to reach $40 trillion. Given real estate’s expected share of 15-20% of the GDP, the sector could account for between $6 and $8 trillion.

Impact on Allied Industries

Real estate growth has a multiplier effect on over 400 allied industries, including tiles, wires, electronics, cement, steel, and furniture.
