flag Japanese firms are boosting investments in India’s real estate, lured by high returns and low costs despite challenges.

flag Japanese real estate developers are expanding investments in India, drawn by high rental growth, low construction costs, and strong economic momentum. flag Mitsui Fudosan is eyeing a 30-35 billion yen ($190–225 million) investment in new projects with Indian partner RMZ Real Estate, while Sumitomo Realty has committed $6.5 billion across five Mumbai developments and is scouting land near Navi Mumbai airport. flag Despite India’s bureaucratic hurdles and construction delays, Japanese firms are uniquely focused on ground-up development, leveraging their expertise and technology. flag Returns of 6–7% in India far exceed Japan’s 2–4%, supported by low labor costs—just $2 per hour—and construction expenses of $656 per square meter in Mumbai, well below global cities. flag Premium office rents in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex rose 14.2% in Q3, leading Asia Pacific growth. flag A survey shows 41% of Japanese investors plan to invest in India this year, up six points from 2024, reflecting rising confidence in the market’s long-term potential.
