Indian residents are increasingly looking for good realty investment opportunities abroad. Due to the downturn in the Indian real estate market, investors are exploring new avenues to invest. As per the recent wealth report of a reputed London based firm Knight Frank, Indias high net worth individuals are heavily investing in real estate in other countries; and their numbers have grown 290% in the last 10 years. Almost 50% of all Indias UHNWI & HNI have foreign real estate in their portfolios, which is highest in the world.
Indian residents are investing in international properties for capital appreciation, as a second home, rental earnings, student accommodation, retirement home or for residency/citizenship. Several international developers offer easy payment plans with low booking amounts as interest rates abroad are considerably lower than the rates prevailing in the Indian market which makes these deals more attractive. The relative stability of the Indian Rupee and relaxation of RBI rules that permit Indian residents to invest overseas have further created an investment climate favorable for international real estate. Through this show, the Indian investors will be able to identify real estate investment opportunities and gain knowledge to make informed investment decisions.
As part of the show, IREX Business Connect is being organized that brings Indian property brokers in touch with international property developers, so that they can work for them as their local sales agents/representatives in India. This opens new business avenues for the Indian property brokers and help them learn international trade practices besides ensuring year long sales for foreign developers through these agents.
IREX is organised by GMN Events Pvt. Ltd, which is part of an international media company that represents several media and exhibition brands in the Indian market and organises road shows and events for its clients.
