Outlook

The Indian economy continues to grow at a healthy pace, with the World Bank raising its growth forecast for India’s economy to 7% for FY 25, up from an earlier projection of 6.6%. The India Development Update (IDU) observes that India remained the fastest-growing major economy and grew rapidly at 8.2% in FY23-24. Growth was boosted by public infrastructure investment and an upswing in investments in real estate.

As the economy grows, Puravankara is set to capitalise on these opportunities with its diverse portfolio of projects and strategic market positioning. We are poised to deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders while expanding our footprint across key markets.
