The poll showed that 79 percent of the buyers were interested in buying apartments as compared to plots, villas or commercial property in India, with 72 percent planning to purchase the property in the next six months, Arabian Business online reported.

“Today, Bengaluru is a much sought after city with NRIs returning to India. Many are keen on making the city their home,” Sunil Jaiswal, president of Sumansa Exhibitions that conducted the research said.

Following Bengaluru and Mumbai, NRI property investors also considered Chennai, Pune, Cochin, Delhi, Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, Goa and Ahmedabad.
