Locations like Krishnapatnam, Tumakuru, Hisar and Rajpura already have EPC contractors on site, while others are awaiting clearances.
The Bottom Line
Wherever large industrial nodes have commenced the property prices and rentals in the surrounding has increased, due to worker housing demand, ancillary businesses, and improved connectivity. These four completed nodes are located in states with very different starting price points from an already-active Delhi NCR market to more affordable land in Ujjain and Aurangabad. This gives investors a varied risk-and-reward option rather than a single bet.
