Australia faces a significant opportunity in Indian real estate & infrastructure investment. In the last five years, India invested over USD $330.5 billion, including USD $68.7 billion in private funds, as per the Global Infrastructure Hub. India’s infrastructure sector is crucial for sustainable economic growth and job creation.
Australia has a unique chance to invest in India’s transport infrastructure, vital for cities’ liveability and economic sectors’ competitiveness. The Australian Federal Government’s India Economic Strategy to 2035 identifies de-risked brownfield assets in the transport sector as prime investment opportunities for Australia.
Moreover, Australia can export expertise in port logistics, infrastructure financing, road safety, heavy haul transportation, multimodal logistics, architectural design, and engineering. In short, the synergies with both markets with respect to real estate & infrastructure is enormous.
