The big story

The wealthy may migrate in India, but they maintain a strong grip on their real estate investments in the country And abroad, a choice that feeds the mutation of property in the luxury market.

In a recent news messageI explored how the wealthy Indians are looking for another residence abroad for strategic reasons, rather than a permanent transfer. According to Dhruba Jyoti Sengupta, CEO of Wealite Management East, many of these high -value individuals in India still allocate about 80 % of their investments locally. He added that a prominent part of this is going on real estate.

“The Indians, to a large extent, have always had a cultural rapprochement of real estate.”and He told me. “Traditionally, after independence, there were limited assets for people in India to invest in only a small part of the investors who played in the market.”

Singh said this legacy is still the provinces today.

while The definitions differIndividuals with between 50 million and 250 million Indian rupees (from 571,000 dollars to 2,855,000 dollars) is a high value of networks, while more than 250 million Indian rupees are considered a high value of network. The wealthy individuals decrease in an Indian rupee of 10 million and 50 million.

For many, possession of a drug is “the cornerstone of the wealth strategy,” said Wrise’s Sengupta, adding that it is a statement of financial assets and lifestyle. Providing housing abroad, whether for rental revenues, personal residencies, or commercial units in which their business can operate, also a global imprint.

The wealthy in India-which was defined as the highest highest of Indian families, or individuals who get the best 40 % of income-keep $ 11.6 trillion or 59.1 % of all assets that Indian families maintain, according to data from the Bernstein Investment House.

From this, 7.1 trillion dollars, or 61.2 %, is suspended in real estate and gold, as the same report indicated.

“The wealthy Indians and the poor have historically relied on material origins,” said Manas Agarawal, vice president and analyst at Bernstein, such as gold, lands and real estate to stop their savings.

Real estate investment funds, homes and commercial units

Real estate seduction lies in a long -term estimate. Experts told me that these benefits usually exceed the high costs and liquidity associated with the asset category.

The value of the capital has doubled more than twice over the past four yearsand Many noticed a “big return”, Christie Singh noticed.

The wealthy people have multiple types of real estate. Singopta of WRISE said that the real estate investment funds (RITS) has become a common tool due to its ability to “generate more predictive returns without the operational burden of direct property ownership.”

Residential and commercial property is also common. In the first quarter of 2025, The prices of housing in India increased 7.7 % for the previous yearExceeding the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Luxury homes sales at a price between 60 million and 500 million Indian rupees 88 % jumped in the second quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2024, while the number of launch operations for these apartments grew by 40 % from the previous year, and a report of the real estate company CBRE showed.

While prices vary across cities, 1 million dollars can buy 99 square meters of major property in MumbaiData from the latest wealth report appears from Knight Frank. Compared, the same amount is worth 32 square meters in Singapore, 34 square meters in London and New York, 44 square meters in Shanghai and 78 square meters in Dubai.

Inside India, the wealthy usually owns the homes of one family, or a stand -alone residential building for their daily work, in the main capital such as Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru. Singh said that such homes are usually in a walled society and could cost at least 200 million Indian rupees for a unit of 2500 square feet in some parts of Delhi.

Moreover, they also invest in the “luxurious” country houses that extend about 1 to 2.5 acres (43,560 to 108,900 square feet) located outside the city. He naming Alibaug, a coastal city, a two -hour trip from Mumbai and Chahatbur, a city located about three hours from Delhi, as destinations with these houses.

Singh said that homes in India are increasingly held over a period of five to 10 years after a change in the income tax rules in India, as it earns only 100 million Indian rupees of capital gains taxes. He added that this has led to a lower investment than speculation, which is a good step to settle in the long term of the real estate market in India.

For real estate investments outside India, the wealthy people look at jobs and long -term returns note Singh.

He said that Dubai is a common location given a powerful rental return from 6 % to 7 % with more companies moving or expanding there. Other common destinations include Ras Al -Khamir in the United Arab Emirates, which is a city up and coming to generate great gains in the short term, Thai Fukeet and Wah Samawi, where the Indians visit to relax and relax, as well as London, where many go out of familiarity,

Beyond real estate

But it is not just real estate. Analysts who spoke to them said that the wealthy in India is also investing in other origins.

They are now viewing beyond material assets to the capital markets, given “how strong it has in the past few years,” Bernstein said.

Private markets such as investment capital, private shares, and hedge boxes have emerged as a common option with many wealthy individuals who finance international companies to benefit from the growth they will enjoy from increasing their treated treated market, according to Himso Kohli, co -founder of the Hindi multi -family family offices and director of private wealth in the customer.

Singopta said that the cryptocurrency also finds a place in the governor, albeit by a small percentage of about 2 %, as investors are betting on the Bitcoin gathering as a hedge against total economic uncertainty.

The wealthy in India is also looking for opportunities outside the country.

“Ten years ago, the wealthy Indians were almost invested in the interior. Today, India in addition to the world. India is still the growth engine, as capital flows to startups, startups and pre-subscription opportunities-but now, global investments have been built in stocks, private markets and foreign property early, not only in retirement.”
