Commercial real estate emerges as a promising asset class amongst NRI investors
NRIs are keen on diversifying their investment portfolios and prefer to invest in commercial real estate.
The real estate market in India is experiencing a steady upward trend. Various reports highlight the increased investment flow in the Indian realty sector augmenting the brighter prospects. The latest survey done by SBNRI, one stop platform for NRIs, highlighted the surge in NRI investment in the commercial real estate segment. The study shows that over half of the NRIs surveyed are keen on diversifying their investment portfolios and prefer to invest in commercial real estate.
The survey also predicts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% for the Indian real estate sector between 2023 and 2028. The surge in interest in commercial real estate investment among NRIs can be attributed to various factors.

With the evolving market scenario and the availability of Grade A commercial properties, it has become a highly preferred asset class for NRIs.
Aman Trehan, Executive Director, Trehan Iris, says, “Commercial property investment has always been one of the most preferred investment options.
