I am fully confident that India will realise its true potential in the next 25 years. The reason for my optimism is that India has, over the years, successfully weathered several financial storms, geopolitical uncertainties as well as the devastating pandemic only to rebound as a stronger and resilient economy.
With regard to housing and real estate, this sector holds the key to unlocking the potential of the Indian economy. In fact, the pace of growth in both advanced as well as developing economies has historically been determined by the relative strength of the housing and real estate sector. Housing always remains at the core of any economy and is considered as a significant engine for its growth. I am optimistic about the future of the housing sector as demand for housing remains insatiable in a country like India. There are several factors behind this:
Employment generator: Housing is one of the largest employment generators in the economy with linkages to nearly 300 industries, both in terms of direct jobs and the jobs it creates in ancillary industries.
Low penetration levels: Mortgage penetration in India is extremely low, which implies a huge potential for growth. For example, the mortgage-to-GDP ratio in India is 11 per cent compared to 20-30 per cent in most East Asian economies, 68 per cent in the UK and 52 per cent in the US.
