A property market can truly be considered established when large organizations are using investments in that market to hedge their losses in other areas. This is exactly what has happened for the first time in the Indian market today.
In the wake of severe losses following a financial scandal, the Indian postal department has started to take a look at the country's booming property markets. They are hoping to make back some of the money they lost in the scandal through property investments and of course with a budget as large as the one the postal department operates on, it is quite clear that they certainly have the capital to make things happen quickly in terms of real estate returns.
The postal department already has some serious property at its disposal for use in this endeavour and it is quite possible that the department will leverage that property to get more and hope for big returns to offset losses they have been incurring through scandal and through loss of business to private corporations.
However, domestic government interest is not the only type of government interest that can be tracked in India's property market. Just recently, CapitaLand announced plans to invest almost $1.5 billion into India’s property market. That company is owned by the Singapore government and is the largest property developer in the country. That marks one of the largest investments into the Indian property market to date and it signifies the fact that foreign governments are starting to become very interested.
At the current moment in time, there is absolutely no reason to think that the Indian property boom will slow down anytime soon. The combination of a strong property market, measurable increases in foreign interest continuing and a strong overall economy to back up the property market pretty much ensures that investors are going to be able to get great returns on their investment into the Indian property market for some time to come.
