Delhi, the capital of India being of national importance is as always the most sought after place for residents and corporates alike. Over the years it has been the addresses of the high profile - the rich and the powerful and has served to be the most secure zone for the foreign embassies and their diplomats.

Delhi is ranked as the second largest market in the country in terms of size and socio-economic profile and with an affluent population comprising a cosmopolitan mix from across the country, it is predicted that the capital value is likely to increase. The boom in the realty sector of Delhi is also due to the growing interest of NRIs to purchase homes and second homes in the city. A majority of real estate consultants believe that Delhi and its suburban neighborhoods will consolidate their recent gains in property prices and appreciate further in the next two years. Overall returns expected (including capital appreciation and rental yields): 10-17 per cent a year.

In the residential sector, a majority of the leading real estate consultants believe that South Delhi will continue to generate demand and that investment in these areas and adjoining them will fetch returns of 5-8 per cent a year for the next three years. Of late, there has been an increase in demand for flats, especially in the areas lying between the Inner and Outer Ring roads. Adding to the ever increasing demand for properties in the national capital, the land prices and residential properties have increased many-fold and are still on the rise thereby making investment in the capital city of India a deal worth to be clinched.
