Global Real Estate Transparency Index in India

In the 11th edition of the Global Real Estate Transparency Index 2020, India is ranked 34th. This index shows that transparency is improving in most countries and territories, but the overall improvement is at its lowest level since the immediate aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis.

Important advances, according to JLL, such as fair remuneration for landowners, protection for house buyers, and the reduction of operational obstacles in REITs have all contributed to increased transparency. In addition, the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act of 2016 (RERA), the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Benami Transaction Prohibition (Amendment) Act of 2016, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and the digitization of land records have brought increased transparency to a largely unregulated sector.

Because of the active engagement of groups like the Indian Green Building Council and also the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment, India is very near to the top 20 for Sustainability Transparency, according to the report. The impact of such significant reforms and consistent progress in the Indian real estate industry has sparked interest from investors worldwide.

GRETI’s effect on worldwide real estate

The report provides an overview of the work to be done in the territories and their degree of transparency. Transparency is critical because it provides investors with the confidence to participate in a certain project in a specific country. When the government in a given territory is stable, the possibilities of investment grow. No one invests money in a marketplace where the rules are constantly changing. Therefore, the investor will first consider how he can protect his funds and his rights.

Additionally, with the assistance of GRETI, the recipients assess the potential investment centre, thereby assisting in the expansion of the real economy in that specific territory. According to a recent survey, London has the clearest real estate market in the world, as well as being the most active in the cross-border real estate market.
