The real estate share market is not driving a lot of investors currently but one does need to remember that it is a cyclic sector. In the recent few years, the real estate market in India has undergone massive changes. This is in a large part due to the regulatory reforms implemented through frameworks as part of the Real Estate Regulatory Act [RERA], and Goods & Services Tax [GST] as well as an inability of many builders in delivering projects in time. However now it is mandatory for all the real estate projects to be in compliance with the provisions of RERA, which attempts to address a majority of consumer interest.
This will now make it quite difficult for fly-by-night operators to be in the market and only the professional and committed players will be able to navigate the roadmap. This is expected to benefit both buyers and sellers, in the long term and thus create positive sentiments for the sector.
The implementation of the regulatory mechanisms has inspired a higher level of confidence from the global investor community. As per certain reports the real estate sector may receive Private Equity [PE] investments amounting to more than US$4 billion during the current fiscal year. In parallel, global sovereign wealth funds which are traditionally quite risk averse and conservative in their investing approach have also begun increasing their exposure to the market. All these together augur well for the sector. Some key stocks that investors can opt for in this scenario are:
