The rate of increase in price will not be that impressive though. Due to the rapid urbanization of leading cities in India, the migrating population will find ample options to choose from. The price will increase but at a lower rate.

India has one-third of the total poor population of the world. Despite the big number, the financial condition of the upper middle class and middle class will earmark the rising economy of the country. The GDP growth rate is rising considerably giving higher hopes to the real estate companies as the number of customers for the assets developed by them will also increase simultaneously.

• Affordable housing plans

The number of affordable housing plans will outnumber luxury plans. The average price range of these residential units will range from INR 15 Lakh to INR 30 Lakh.
