Indian real estate holds great potential

New Delhi, Feb 11: Direct investments in the Asian real estate sector has the potential to grow robustly in the long term, but infrastructure and lack of transparency would pose a challenge for the global investors, especially in India, a study said.

"With an asset base directly exposed to the macro growth story that draws so many institutional investors to the region, Asian real estate offers a gamut of possibilities at every stage, from nascent market to mature developed economy," a Asian Venture Capital Journal report on Asia real estate sector said.

However, the sector's progress is hindered by volatility, immaturity and market opacity, which could act as a deterrent to the potential investors from entering the markets, the report said.
