This has led to a rise in investment by individual investors, and both domestic and foreign institutional investors thereby further espousing not just India's but also real estate sector's growth story." "The real estate market across 9 top Tier 1 cities are today valued at over Rs 5.5 lakh crore. Unlike the pre-RERA years, absorption every year, post RERA implementation, has been more than launches (except covid year CY 2020), which shows the maturity that this regulation has ushered amongst developers thereby laying a strong foundation for a USD 1 trillion real estate economy," he added.
