Building Viksit Bharat: Real Estate as a Catalyst for Growth – 2026 (Knight Frank)

India’s growth story is increasingly being shaped by the capacity of its cities, infrastructure and productive assets to support a larger and more formal economy. Real estate sits at the centre of this transition. It provides the physical infrastructure for households and businesses, creates employment through construction and allied activities, supports manufacturing and services
through commercial and industrial assets, and increasingly enables newer parts of the economy
such as digital infrastructure and organised logistics.

Its importance therefore extends beyond the value of property itself. Real estate influences economic output, employment, capital formation and a wide network of allied industries. These linkages make it an important enabler of Viksit Bharat; improving productive capacity, strengthening investment and creating the physical environment required for sustained economic
growth.
