Sunil Jaiswal, CEO, Sumansa Exhibitions said: “The Indian real estate market is expected to rise to $90 billion by 2015. The depreciating rupee may be a concern for the Indian economy, but NRIs are the happier lot as they find the time is ideal for real estate investment in India. In flow of funds into property sector has increased by 25-30 per cent due to rupee depreciation.”

“The NRIs are cashing in on this deprecation and are making a beeline to buy property in India. According to the World Bank, India continues to retain the top slot in remittances by expatriates from abroad and these are mainly used for family needs and investments in stocks, property and term deposits.

“Real estate here is preferred because of a desire to create a higher lifestyle for the family and the price appreciation in the long term.”

Santosh Tandel, regional head – Mena Region, Indiabulls, said: “We are now closer to our customers in Qatar as a result of our recent collaboration with Doha bank, they are our local representative.”

“Doha Bank’s agreement with Indiabulls serves the growing demand from expatriate Indians for home loans and property acquisitions in India. NRI customers seeking to purchase homes in India through Indiabulls Real Estate can approach Doha Bank to secure financing at very competitive rates with flexible repayment schedules. Complimentary Home Loan eligibility checks, special offers on Indiabulls properties and exclusive promotions for Doha Bank’s customers will be part of the offer.”

“The fall of the rupee is encouraging more investment by Gulf-based non-resident Indians (NRIs) into the realty market which offers relatively higher returns. Properties continue to be a preferred choice for expat Indians for investment and asset creation.

“What they look for is a good brand to invest and a price point which is good to enter. For NRI’s reputed developer with good track record, quality and possible price appreciation is an important factor. We offer a range of investment options right from INR40 lacs ($735,000) to 20 crores and response is overwhelming”, added Tandel. – TradeArabia News Service
