Festive season creates prime window for property investment with tax reliefs, cheaper loans, and developer offers
For Indian expats in the UAE, the Navratri season is not just about celebrations — it’s also a peak time to invest in Indian real estate, reported gulfnews.com.
Traditionally, home sales in India surge by up to 30% during Navratri and Diwali, as developers roll out aggressive deals and banks, alongside the RBI, ease borrowing conditions. The cumulative 100 bps rate cut by the RBI has made mortgages cheaper, while GST reforms implemented at the start of Navratri have streamlined processes and reduced costs for buyers.
Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman of Signature Global, said, “This festive season, we are expecting significant growth in housing demand, particularly in the mid and premium segments. Developments such as the RBI’s rate cut and GST reforms have improved accessibility and boosted buyer confidence.”
Navratri 2025 is shaping up as one of the strongest windows for property investment in recent years, with homebuyers benefiting from lower interest rates, GST reforms, and festive offers from developers
Developers are raising the stakes with added incentives. Signature Global is offering bookings with 25% upfront payment, gold coins, and even chances to win luxury cars. Noida-based developer Saya is enhancing its Gold Avenue project in Indirapuram with Croma vouchers worth up to ₹500,000. Krisumi in Gurgaon is preparing new launches, leveraging attractive home loan rates and GST benefits to appeal to buyers.
For NRIs, the festive season offers several advantages: lower loan rates improve affordability, festive discounts and vouchers reduce costs, and mid to premium homes — the segments preferred by NRIs — are in focus. Ashok Kapur, Chairman of Krisumi, said, “Buyers increasingly see real estate as a stable, long-term investment that enhances lifestyle while ensuring wealth creation.”
Bottom line: UAE Indians looking to buy property in India this Navratri can take advantage of an optimal mix of affordability, festive incentives, and supportive policy measures, making 2025 a prime opportunity for investment.
