Foreign Direct Investment in Indian Real Estate

The Indian economy experienced 8.6% growth in 2003. The growth momentum since then has been sustained at 6-7% GDP in spite of insufficient monsoons, reduced growth in agriculture and increasing global steel and oil prices.

A boom has been felt in certain sectors of Indian economy especially in the real estate development over the last 5 years.
