Real estate to clock 30% growth

NEW DELHI: The realty sector is projected to grow at the rate of 30 per cent annually over the next decade, attracting foreign investments worth $30 billion, with a number of IT parks and residential townships being constructed across-India, industry bod y Assocham said.

Currently, the domestic real estate market is expected to be worth $15 billion in which the FDI is estimated to about $6 billion, it said.

At present, the foreign developers can undertake construction activities on a minimum space of 50,000 sq ft, Mr Sajjan Jindal, President, Assocham said in a statement.

The ceiling of 50,000 sq ft would be lifted by the government in want of more FDIs and would go to 2-lakh sq ft in next 10 years, as per Assocham's estimate. The sector would grow more as expected requirement by the IT sector (like IT parks) will be abo ut 200 million sq ft space across the major and large townships, it added.

It is also estimated that in the residential sector, the housing shortage is around 20 million units of which nearly 7 million units are estimated for urban India, it said.

Commenting on the problem faced by the sector, the Assocham said that the involvement of Centre and a number of State agencies in setting up of townships is needed. - PTI
