Can India go the China way in real estate?

The Indian real estate sector could be headed for a China-like situation with high unsold inventory and ghost towns

As the Chinese meltdown progresses, it is getting clearer that at the heart of the matter is the Communist government’s intention of diverting public attention from the debacle in the real estate market.

Before the equity boom, the Chinese government tried to fuel the property bubble but could not manage it and had to create another bubble to allow investors to recover money. This ultimately led to the equity bubble which has just burst. The real estate projects have turned into a dead investment and the properties now represent ghost cities. Check this photo gallery to get an idea of what a ghost town looks like.

Some of the recent satellite cities in India have a similar look. It becomes eerie after sundown when these dark structures rise above the ground without a single light in them. Is the Indian real estate market in a similar kind of bubble as their Chinese counterparts?

Around 77,460 apartments worth Rs 3,044 crore remain unsold in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai alone. The total inventory will take 30 months to sell. A survey done by JLL found out that sluggish sale is probably because of most of the ready units, which account for only 3.35% or 2,600 units, are priced above Rs 1 crore.
