Indian Housing demand to stay Strong in 2007

                                                                                         

Boosted by rising incomes and scarce land, prices of houses in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Bangalore are currently increasing at 30-40% per year. NHB (National Housing Bank) has estimated the overall housing shortage to be at 31.1 Million Units, specifically in Rural India.

Property funds have now assets of about US$ 4.7 Billion following an economic expansion period, historically low interest rates and tax breaks. India's retail property market was around US$ 292 Billion in 2004, as per ICICI Bank Ltd- the 2nd largest lender of the country, and is likely to reach US$ 463 Billion by the year 2010. NHB also plans to introduce reverse mortgages by 2006. This'll enable retired people to get a regular income for 15 years.

RNCOS has recently published a report "Opportunities in Indian Housing Sector (2006-2007)". According to this report, "NHB has started a program named Productive Housing in Rural Areas (PHRA) for provide a platform that'll help achieve its aims in rural housing finance.
