NRI Advisory

India's pre-leased commercial market offers NRI investors yields unavailable in Western markets — with home-market familiarity, FEMA-backed frameworks, and a trusted advisor on the ground.

The Opportunity

Why NRIs Are Returning to Indian CRE

Three structural forces are driving a surge in NRI commercial real estate investment.

INR Depreciation Hedge

India-based rental income appreciated against the dollar provides a compounding return advantage for NRI investors holding hard-currency savings.

Yield Differential

Pre-leased commercial yields in India (6–9%) exceed prime commercial yields in London, New York and most developed markets.

Tenant Quality Upgrade

Fortune 500 retailers, PSU banks and global BFSI firms now dominate India's commercial tenant mix — counterparties NRI investors recognise and trust.
