Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) Bullish on Investing in Real Estate in India - NoBroker NRI Report 2023
Dec 29, 2023
Bengaluru, Karnataka Dec 29, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Real Estate in India has always grabbed the attention of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who wish to diversify and expand their investment portfolio. Over the last couple of years, India has witnessed increased interest from NRI customers for property purchases for self-use as well as for investment. An extensive survey conducted by NoBroker - India's first proptech unicorn and a one-stop shop for all real estate needs, suggests that more and more NRIs living in Canada, USA, UK, France, Germany, UAE, Singapore, and Australia are keen to invest in residential and commercial properties in their homeland.
This surge is driven by factors such as increased rental yield, depreciation of the Indian rupee, favourable government policies, and the resilience shown by the Indian real estate sector in the face of adversity (COVID) and economic uncertainty. As the country's real estate market continues to evolve, Nobroker's NRI real estate report 2023 delves into the key drivers and implications of NRI investments, shedding light on the dynamics of this increasingly vital segment.
A. Real Estate in India - A Favourable Investment Avenue for NRIs
The contribution of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to Indian real estate has witnessed notable and steady growth over the past few years. In the fiscal year 2019-2020, NRIs were estimated to account for approximately 10% of the total investments in the Indian real estate market. By 2025, it is projected that NRIs will account for 20% of the total investments in residential and commercial real estate in India.
B. NRIs Prefer to Invest in Tier-1 Metro Cities

Bangalore preferred by 29% and Mumbai preferred by 24% are the most favoured cities for NRI buyers, followed by Hyderabad (18%), Chennai (14%), Pune (11%), and Delhi NCR (4%). The report also highlights an exciting sentiment: most of the surveyed NRIs wish to buy 3-bedroom units over 1 and 2 BHK apartments. The demand for 3BHK units also reflects a growing preference for spacious and versatile living spaces, possibly driven by evolving lifestyle needs, such as the need for dedicated home offices, guest rooms, or additional living areas.
