NRI Investment Trends

Drawing on our client activity across India and the UAE, this note tracks how Non-Resident Indians are allocating to real estate back home. We look at preferred markets, ticket sizes, structuring choices, and the practical considerations — from due diligence to repatriation — that shape cross-border decisions.

Key Takeaways

• NRIs continue to favour Grade-A residential in familiar metros, increasingly complemented by commercial exposure.
• Average ticket sizes are rising as investors consolidate into fewer, higher-quality assets.
• Remote due diligence, transparent documentation, and trusted local partners are decisive for confidence.
• Tax-aware structuring and clarity on repatriation remain central to how cross-border allocations are made.
