india market watch: out now

India, one of Asia’s fastest growing economies and a strategic destination, has attracted a continuous stream of investment and talent to its shores. As highlighted in our blog – Discovering India: Embracing Diversity in One Nation, India stands out as a dynamic market for business and mobility, making it the top relocation destination in Asia for assignees and their families.

Our latest edition of the India Market Watch is out now! Read up on the latest residential rental trends, schooling costs, and more!

highlights

  • residential rental market: India’s major cities are experiencing rising rental prices, limited housing availability, and longer lead times when securing accommodation, fueled by rapid rural-urban migration, steady population growth, and the concentration of economic opportunities in urban centers.
  • schooling: India offers a diverse range of schooling options for relocating families. Places are limited with long waitlists for popular schools, and costs have also risen notably in recent years, driven by increasing demand and inflationary pressures across major cities.
  • immigration: India offers several visa categories to accommodate different assignment types and durations. As requirements and processing timelines vary depending on the country of issuance and are largely driven by reciprocity, it is important for assignees to familiarise themselves early in the process and prepare all required documentation in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
