Hero Realty CEO: Indian Real Estate as a Global Asset

According to Rohit Kishore, CEO of Hero Realty, a combination of sustained economic growth, landmark regulatory reforms like RERA and GST, and rising institutional participation has reshaped the landscape—turning real estate into a credible, stable, and globally relevant investment destination.

In this exclusive conversation, Kishore explains how infrastructure expansion, urbanization, and transparency measures have de-risked the sector and positioned it as a compelling asset class for both domestic and global investors.

Stable Investment Destination

  • Over the last 20 years, the Indian real estate market has witnessed robust growth, underpinned by a dynamic interplay between structural reforms and sustained demand.
  • Consistent GDP growth of over 6% annually has fueled steady rises in commercial and residential real estate demand.
  • Urbanization, rising incomes, and an expanding middle class have created a strong foundation for long-term growth.
  • Timely government reforms—RERA, GST, and REITs—brought transparency, regulation, and liquidity to the sector.
  • Blackstone is now a major player in four out of five listed Indian REITs; Brookfield backs the fifth.
  • Institutional participation underscores the sector's maturation and global relevance.

Infrastructure and Demand Patterns

  • Expressways like Dwarka Expressway and Delhi–Mumbai Expressway open up land-rich areas around urban centers.
  • Better connectivity brings higher capital appreciation and rental returns near metro stations.
  • Industrial corridors and logistics parks push demand in new markets.
  • Walk-to-work ecosystems foster self-sustaining micro-cities.

Growth Markets and Outlook

  • Primary focus remains Tier-1 cities, with opportunity in Tier-2 and rising NCR satellite towns.
  • Residential, commercial, and retail demand growing in tandem across market segments.
  • Mid-segment and versatile housing see strong preference.
  • Commercial assets favored as wealth-preservation tools by global investors.
