New Delhi, Sep 18: India’s real estate market has strengthened its position on the global stage, moving up five places to 26th in the latest global real estate transparency ranking.
The improvement reflects the gradual changes taking place in India’s property market, where greater access to information, improved regulatory processes and increasing digitalisation are making real estate transactions more structured and transparent.
For a sector that attracts large amounts of domestic and international capital, transparency plays an important role in building confidence. Investors and developers need reliable market information, clearer processes and greater visibility into property transactions before committing capital to new projects.
India’s improved ranking could therefore support the country’s efforts to attract further investment into residential and commercial real estate, office spaces, retail, logistics, warehousing and other emerging property segments.
The benefits of a more transparent market can extend beyond large investors and developers. Homebuyers can gain from better access to property information, while smaller businesses can find it easier to assess locations, costs and market opportunities.
Digitalisation is also changing the way the sector operates. Online property records, technology-based transactions and improved availability of market data are helping reduce information gaps and make several real estate processes more efficient.
Greater transparency can also encourage developers to adopt more professional practices and improve accountability across the property value chain. This can strengthen confidence among buyers, financial institutions and investors while supporting more organised growth in the sector.
The real estate industry has a wider impact on the economy through construction activity, employment, building materials, financial services, infrastructure and local businesses. As the sector becomes more organised and transparent, its growth can create opportunities across these connected industries as well.
India’s rise in the global transparency ranking therefore marks more than an improvement in its position. It points to the continuing formalisation of the real estate sector and the growing importance of reliable information, digital systems and transparent business practices in supporting long-term market development.
