New Delhi, October 14, 2014 – Navratra, the special nine days of Hindu calendar is a much awaited festive time for most. This is the time when buyers invest maximum in real estate and other assets. Customers in India have a general feeling that investing or buying some asset during this season is proved to be extremely lucky. For the real estate sector, this season is supposed to be the highest sales and revenue earner throughout the year.

The general performance of the market was quite good as compared to the last year’s with a marginal increase in the sales this season. We were able to cater to 34 bookings during the festival. One of the most significant reasons has been the uprising of tier 2 & 3 cities like Bhiwadi, Neemrana, Rishikesh, etc. where the top notch developers of the country have put a strong foot with quality projects at very promising prices.
