Commercial real estate to boom: There will be a huge scope for the commercial real estate due to the increasing number of grade-A office spaces for start-ups, co-working places and e-commerce. IT parks in terms of location and amenities will emerge as an exemplary trend for commercial real estate growth. Rentals in commercial realty will catalyse growth as investors tend to rent a commercial space rather than buying it. Also, the increase in educational institutions in metro cities will drive student housing, which is a huge unmet demand in the country.
Warehousing to get major boost: Another rising sector is organised warehousing, which has seen a sharp increase in demand due to advancements in e-commerce. Now, with the liberalization of FDI policy, demand for warehousing is expected to escalate even more. The electronic and white goods segment is another key driver, as the need for substantial warehouses in urban and semi-urban areas will increase.
