NRI

It is always a great feeling to know that you have a place of your own to retreat when homeland beckons. Pune is not just an emerging real estate hub, but it is also becoming a preferred choice for NRIs to invest in property. Some of the reasons that make Pune a favorite real estate destination amongst the Indian diaspora are :

Proximity to Mumbai

Shift of economic growth from tier I cities to tier II and tier III cities

Rapidly growing industrial, manufacturing and IT sector

Increase in youth population, thereby increasing demand for residential spaces

Well developed infrastructure, greenery, less pollution compared to megacities

Ever increasing demand for rental properties due to fast growing IT-ITES sector

 

The well heeled and well travelled NRI community is exposed to the superior quality of infrastructure and construction in developed nations. Naturally, when they set to hunt residential properties in India, their expectations are often elevated. One of the top builders in Pune, Amit Enterprises Housing Limited (AEHL) is proud to announce that it is also one of the leading brands catering to NRI population's residential property investment demands.

 

The best thing about Amit Enterprises Housing Limited (AEHL) is that over the years, it has launched a range of upscale projects to suit the elite taste of NRI community. This group typically eyes the properties in the range 50 lacs to 5 crore and more. This one of the reputed builders of Pune, AEHL has launched several projects housing luxurious apartments, lavish villas and magnificent bungalows, all of which prove to be ideal investment options for NRIs.

 

However, the investment in residential property may not be a smooth ride for the NRIs, who may be away from the country for several years. Often, such investments are done through relatives or closed associates. The concerned people may not be aware of the potential of certain upcoming localities that can assure great returns on investments in future. At Amit Enterprises Housing Limited (AEHL), one of the quality builders in Pune, we believe in educating the NRI community about the challenges involved and also implement programs to help them make a best buy.
