India’s affluent investors have recalibrated their portfolios to prioritise commercial real estate over traditional debt products and residential properties. Offering yields up to 10%, far surpassing residential returns of just 2–4%, commercial assets now command top preference among HNIs and UHNIs. Investments are also diversifying into warehousing, hospitality, student housing, and data centres—reflecting an expanding economic landscape and new wealth creation.
