According to a study by housing.com, reverse migration of the corporate workforce and increased flexibility due to remote working is driving the residential demand in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, which has been so far limited to the top 8 cities of India.
According to the reports, though development in ‘shadow cities’ has moved very slowly, the current pandemic driven crisis has brought structural changes, which has accelerated the process of deeper market penetration in ‘shadow cities’ across sectors.
Not only housing, but these cities are also exhibiting a readiness for big brands across the categories of fashion, luxury cars, and jewellry among many others.
“The demand for real estate is highest in India, especially in the current pandemic situation. In the scenario when other investment vehicles have shown brittleness, real estate asset is gaining as it gives surety of return,” said Uddhav Poddar.
