Rishi Jain, Managing Director, The Jain Group shared that In 2023, the Indian real estate market—especially in Kolkata—saw an incredible transformation. The industry has demonstrated strong demand despite the difficulties presented by high house loan interest rates, which are supported by notable macroeconomic growth and government-led infrastructure development. Certainly, there are uncertainties in the global economy, but domestic demand and independence have alarmed the doubters and will continue to do so. Known for its thriving IT scene and rich heritage, Kolkata has become a hotspot in this real estate boom. Over the past two years, the airport's surrounding areas—Madhyamgram and Rajarhat, in particular—have continued to draw a lot of attention. This pattern demonstrates the city's increasing attraction as a residential and business centre. Positive trends were also seen in commercial real estate, with major investments in commercial assets like hotels, co-working spaces, and office space, as well as retail leasing reaching all-time highs following the pandemic. Anticipating 2024, the market is experiencing a surge of positivity. In the residential market, He sees a bullish trend, particularly for reputable developers like Jain Group who have a track record of success and accolades from the industry. Recent surveys and reports that point to the industry's continued upward trajectory support this optimism. Because of the high base effect of 2023, He is anticipating that the real estate market will continue to grow, albeit more slowly. However, 2024 might surprise all, and in what way the government's efforts, such as the recent roadshows on investments and emphasis on infrastructure projects, have been crucial in supporting the confidence of the market.
