Assam
is a beautiful north eastern hilly state located south of the eastern
Himalayas in India. Dispur is the capital of the state, while Guwahati is
the most important town. The state is well known for its tea garden,
petroleum resources, and its rich biodiversity. The state is also enriched
with sources of coal, and natural gas. The abundant natural resources helped
Assam to establish integrated townships in major cities like Bongaigaon,
Duliajan, Jorhat, Moran, Margherita, Namrup, and Numaligarh.
Real Estate Scenario
The real estate industry of Assam is going through good phase, which is
largely due to the success of industrial policy of the state government. The
state government is encouraging private sector companies to invest in
industrial sectors and infrastructure developments. Also the North East
Industrial Policy of central government attracted a number of MNCs to invest
in oil, natural gas, coal, and fertilizers industries. Availability of cheap
land and labor in Assam has created competitive environment for foreign
direct investment in different sectors like infrastructure, energy, health,
agriculture, and agro-business. These progressive ongoing workouts made the
possibility of large scale real estate development in Assam.
Commercial Real Estate
The demand of commercial properties in important cities of Assam is
increasing at a rapid rate. Guwahati, the most important town of Assam and
the gateway to the north-east, is the commercial hub of the state.
Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, and Sibsagar are the major centers of north Assam from
commercial point of view. Some other cities like Silchar, Goalpara,
Lakhimpur, Nalbari, Naharkatiya, Kokarjhar, Nagaon are connected with tea
gardens or plywood industry and possess major potential to groom as the
commercial cities in near future.
Residential Real Estate
With such a large scale industrial and commercial development around the
state, the state is also seeing the boom in residential sector. The
increasing population and migration of people from other north eastern
states are creating huge demand of residential properties in different
cities of the state. Also the increased purchasing power of middle class
people has created the demand for luxurious apartments, and residential
colonies. The big names of real estates are searching for good options to
large scale investment in residential as well as in other sectors.
