Echoes of Accelerate 2026: Transparency and trust made India the world’s favorite investment destination

Mumbai . India’s real estate sector is no longer limited to just land and buildings, but is rapidly emerging as a mature, transparent and global asset class. Accelerate 2026 held in Mumbai provided a clear glimpse of this transformation, where over 750 industry experts, investors and policy-makers brainstormed on the future direction of the sector (Anil Bedaag):

The conference highlighted that real estate in India is rapidly moving beyond traditional family funding to institutional investment through modern financial instruments such as Real Estate Investment Trusts and now Small-and-Medium Trusts and Private Equity. Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani in his address said that by 2047, urbanization of the country can reach close to 50 percent, which will bring about a massive change in the pattern of real estate demand and development.

Whereas Prashant Sharma termed RERA, GST and RBI policies as the basis of this change and said that this has strengthened transparency and investor confidence. According to Vikas Jain, the confidence of domestic and foreign investors is at its highest level, which shows the strength of the sector. The conference highlighted emerging sectors like branded residences, hospitality assets, green development and data centers as the engines of the future. It is clear that with the combination of rising incomes, urbanization and global investment, India’s real estate sector is poised for unprecedented growth in the coming years.
