The need for new housing supply in India is significant. There is a major shortage of affordable and mid income housing, with urban population growth and related long term trends driving an additional need for 4.3m homes per annum.
The fund’s strategy is to contribute to addressing this affordable housing shortfall, whilst demonstrating the commercial potential of the market segment, catalysing the lower end of the market over the longer term.
