From mid-segment apartments with a clubhouse to high-rise towers with glass façades, almost every new launch claims to be a luxury project.

In Indian real estate, glossy brochures, luxury show flats, and celebrity endorsements often dominate buyer attention. However, one factor that silently determines whether a project will be delivered on time—or turn into a long-term headache—is the financial health of the builder.

Buying property in India remains a strong emotional and financial decision for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). Whether it is for long-term investment, rental income, or a future return plan, Indian real estate continues to attract global Indian capital. However, distance from India, lack of on-ground visibility, and frequent regulatory changes expose NRIs to serious legal risks if due diligence is not handled carefully. Many NRIs assume property purchase rules are simple or rely blindly on relatives, friends, or brokers. Unfortunately, this is where most legal problems begin. From title disputes and non-compliant developers to taxation errors and power of attorney misuse, the risks…

A home is much more than four walls and a roof. It is a living space that absorbs, reflects, and amplifies the energy of the people living inside it.

The critical question for homebuyers and investors is: between Thane and Navi Mumbai, which market will grow faster over the next five years? This detailed comparison analyses infrastructure, pricing,…
