The nation envisions a transformative path over the next five years, and for this it is real estate that will prove to be a game changer

INDIA'S ECONOMY HAS witnessed substantial expansion and transition over the years, positioning the nation as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. As we move ahead to 2029, it is crucial to identify the key agenda that will shape India’s economic trajectory for the next five years. The nation will envision a transformative path over the next five years, encompassing economic, social, and infrastructural dimensions. Here are a few facets of this vision that are poised for significant evolution.
Accelerating Infrastructure Development
Infrastructure development has always been a critical factor for economic growth. In the next five years, India needs to prioritise the development of robust infrastructure across various sectors. This involves boosting digital connectivity, enhancing transportation networks, and investing in energy and water infrastructure. Such efforts will not only create jobs, but will also boost productivity and attract domestic and foreign investment. In the coming years, the Indian real estate landscape is expected to witness a paradigm shift. The focus will be on sustainable urban development, balancing the need for housing with environmental considerations. With the advent of innovative technologies, the construction industry is likely to embrace ecofriendly practices, ushering in an era of green and smart cities.

The New Taj Mahals
Luxury has a long and storied lineage in India. It was in 1903 that Jamsetji Tata built India’s first luxury hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai—a property that, even at the time, offered electricity, air-conditioning, elevators, and telephones in every room. While palaces and residences of the Indian royalty that were later converted into luxury hotels dominate today’s rankings (Rajasthan is India’s luxury hotel capital), the Taj set the tone for what luxury would come to mean in modern India.
