India’s real estate sector is moving through a major transformation as developers and property companies adopt technology-led systems to improve efficiency and manage rising operational costs. A recent joint report released by FICCI and KPMG highlighted how digital tools are now becoming central to the way real estate projects are planned, sold, and managed.
The report, titled “Reimagining India’s Real Estate Landscape – Role of Technology in Value Chain Transformation”, points out that builders are steadily moving away from manual systems and adopting data-driven platforms across the entire property cycle. This includes location selection, design planning, construction monitoring, customer engagement, financing support, and after-sales services.
Rising Costs and Compliance Push Builders Towards Tech
According to the report, growing cost pressures and stricter regulatory requirements are pushing real estate companies to modernise their operations. Developers are now using digital solutions to reduce delays, improve transparency, and streamline workflows.
The increasing participation of institutional investors and the rise of informed homebuyers are also playing a big role in this shift. Buyers today expect faster communication, better advisory support, smoother documentation, and complete transparency during property transactions.
The report further projects that India’s real estate market could grow from nearly $650 billion in 2025 to around $5.8 trillion by 2047, showing the massive long-term potential of the sector.
Institutional Investments Strengthen Market Confidence
The sector has also witnessed strong momentum through institutional investment platforms like REITs and InvITs. The report notes that more than $16 billion has already been raised through these investment structures, reflecting stronger investor confidence and the growing preference for organised and transparent real estate platforms.
Industry experts believe that technology adoption will continue to play a critical role as competition rises and customer expectations evolve further in the coming years.
Consumers Now Expect a Complete Digital Experience
Speaking during the real estate summit organised by FICCI, Hitesh Singla, co-founder and chief investment officer (CIO) of Square Yards, spoke about the changing behaviour of Indian property buyers and the growing importance of seamless digital experiences.
He said, “Today’s consumers are far more knowledgeable and digitally aware than they were even a few years ago. Property transactions are no longer viewed as isolated purchases. Buyers now expect a seamless process, from search to financing, advisory services, documentation, and after-sales service.”
Technology Becoming the Backbone of Real Estate Growth
The Indian real estate industry is no longer treating technology as an optional support system. From project execution to customer service, digital tools are becoming part of daily operations across the sector.
As the market continues to expand, industry leaders believe that companies investing in smart technology, transparency, and customer-focused systems are likely to stay ahead in the next phase of real estate growth.
