Jaipur - Emerging Stronger From the Financial Crisis

Jaipur, popularly known as the 'Pink City' is one of the most promising real estate destinations in the country today and is considered to possess one of the best infrastructures.

Jaipur is all set to make a mark in the realm of economic growth in the country. The Jaipur Real Estate sector is looking very bright. The state government has taken various steps to make the city the next big destination for the Foreign Direct Investments. These include widening and improvement of major roads with flyovers and railway over-bridges, regularization of residential colonies on agricultural lands and improvement of overall infrastructure.

Jaipur property prices have shot up over the last couple of years due to an upsurge in demand. This has led to initiatives by developers like Parsvnath, Vatika and Ansal, to set up residential, retail, office and commercial spaces in the city. GE capital has moved into Jaipur and this has paved the way for the entry of a number of IT companies like Infosys and Wipro, which has worked to the city's advantage. Moreover, the real estate in Jaipur is steaming with a suit of mega projects. The largest of them include Mahindra's 3000 acre SEZ (Special Economic Zone), Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's (ADAG) Mega City Development Plans, and Hero Honda's Rs 700 crore manufacturing plant.

Jaipur properties today have become immensely popular because of the recent influx of investments in this sector. The reasons for this are manifold -

· Close proximity to the national capital, Delhi and NCR regions.

· Promising infrastructural base, an example of which is the existent 8-lane expressway

· Relatively lower property prices in comparison to adjacent metro cities

However, according to Jaipur real estate brokers, the global financial crisis couldn't have come at a worse time. Due to low liquidity of real estate and high mobility of investor capital, the city is witnessing a price correction. There has been a fall of 20 per cent in Jaipur property prices.

According to media reports, inflation has become all pervasive, and small investors especially will take a beating, because with huge debts and rising prices of home loan interest rates, new ventures are but a distant dream. In the past when markets slowed down, real estate developers held back supply. The difference this time according to Jaipur real estate builders however is that, a lot of private equity money has gone into the development of the real estate, which will lead to softening of prices and a consequent increase in supply.

Thus, even with minor hiccups such as the above stated, Jaipur is the place to be right now. It is the focus area of all major developers and it's essential to invest early to get high returns, feel industry experts.
