India, Feb. 7 -- Punjab's real estate market offers Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) strong, evidence-based opportunities for high investment returns, backed by favourable currency trends and major infrastructure gains. Recognition such as the award conferred by Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Epique Real Ventures underscores the specialised guidance available to overseas buyers navigating this sector. With the rupee trading at roughly 83-84 to the USD and 105-107 to the GBP, NRIs enjoy 15-20% greater buying power than five years ago. This advantage enables them to acquire Rs.1-2 crore in prime locations such as Mohali or Chandigarh at effectively discounted global prices, paving the way for solid capital appreciation. Residential properties in Mohali recorded 9.9% annual price appreciation through early 2025, with forecasts holding steady at 12-15% into 2026 due to tight supply and rising demand. In high-activity pockets like Sectors 70-89, rental yields range between 3.5-4.5% - translating to Rs.25,000-40,000 in monthly rentals on a Rs.60 lakh apartment. NRI transactions now account for 15% of total deals, up from 11% in 2023. Infrastructure investments such as the Rs.1,200 crore PR-11 highway and the Bharatmala expressways have boosted Aerocity property values by 70% since 2023. Upcoming metro connectivity to Zirakpur and airport upgrades are projected to add another 20-25% appreciation across the tricity region by 2027, attracting nearly Rs.5,000 crore annually from NRI investors. Punjab's RERA registrations have risen by 40% post-2020, improving project completion rates to 95% and reducing delays by 30%. Initiatives like Rangla Punjab have channelled $2.5 billion in diaspora investments into the property sector in the last fiscal year, combining regulatory transparency with targeted incentives. Consulting firms such as the award-winning Epique Real Ventures provide fact-driven support, ranging from RERA due diligence and transaction analytics to post-purchase management, handling over 285 transactions annually. This enables remote investors to capitalise on Punjab's growth trajectory with reduced risk and a sharper focus on returns. The author of this article is the vice-president of Epique Real Ventures...
