I have been following information about realty sector growth in India and would like to put my thoughts here based on my experience as well as observation.
I am strong believer of the fact that for a long term investor, investment in land in India will never be a problem. This is driven by following:
(1) Growing number of people in India, resulting in more demand
(2) Increase in buying capacity of middle class and in general
(3) More industrialization and growth of the country, thereby causing shortage of land available for residential and industrial use...
And more...
Check out this article on Economic Times which is relevant on the same lines, as stated above.
The investment in a constructed house or flat in India might put you in risk in times of recession, but investment in land would not (in long term, say 3-5 years or more). If one has reliable contacts to invest in land, I would suggest to invest in this evergreen and best investment option.
In my view, it is better than investment in stocks, or any other investment, in terms of best returns, safety (if one has reliable contacts). Of course, one needs to diversify the investment portfolio, to reduce risks.
I will be glad to see your comments on this article and provide more inputs if you need.
