BackThe Practice
Consistent economic growth and increasing urbanisation has buoyed the Indian real estate industry. The last decade witnessed a remarkable growth in residential and commercial property projects. It also saw the emergence of a complex ecosystem that eventually drove the enactment of Real Estate Regulation Act. The country has also witnessed a large swing towards the development of sophisticated warehousing space.
