India’s Smart Cities Mission will provide opportunities for high volume real estate development considering the highest chunk of the proposed capital investment in smart cities. About 89% of the capital investment has been allocated for built environment (urban development & housing, buildings, waterfront development etc.) transportation, water, wastewater management and energy. The smart cities project will be an amalgamation of commercial and residential projects in India, in close quarters. Evolution of these smart cities will increase the demand of work places as well as hotels, in addition to residential apartments and shopping malls. The government has planned to set up the concept of smart cities in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Manipur, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, UP, Uttrakhand and West Bengal. The smart city mission in India will also boost up the sales of properties not only for residential but for commercial properties as well. This is a good sign for real estate franchise industry as well.
