“The luxury real estate sector in India (units that cost above 1 million dollars) comprised around 5235 units totalling $5 billion in 2019. That number has now grown by more than 100%. Today, around 13,600 units are valued at $12 bn. This number has primarily grown on account of the overall growth of the Indian economy and the demand from the NRI segment,” said Samir Jasuja, founder and CEO of PropEquity, an advanced online search platform for real time data, intelligence and analytics.
