NRIs in the Gulf show keen interest in India's real estate industry as prices cool down
Indian expats in the UAE and Gulf may find this a timely moment to invest in the Indian property market, as major cities show signs of slowing price growth after three years of rapid gains. High demand from local buyers had previously created strong competition for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), but market dynamics are beginning to shift, according to a report by Gulf News. The change is prompting many NRIs in the Gulf to re-evaluate whether to invest in Indian real estate or explore property purchases locally in the UAE. 'More than ever, Gulf's NRI buyers are worried whether it makes any sense to buy or build a costly home in India and have it rented out or kept vacant,' said a property advisor. Another deciding factor is education. Expats increasingly base new home purchases in India on whether their children are pursuing higher studies in the country. Meanwhile, city markets are tightening, especially in the affordable and mid-range segments. 'Several cities – including Mumbai , Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Delhi-NCR – are now facing a genuine crunch in entry-level inventory,' said Azaz Motiwala, founder of Ikon Marketing Consultants to Gulf News. 'This supply tightening is most evident in the affordable and mid. segments, where steady demand is not being matched by fresh launches.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo Today's NYC Undo While cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad posted modest 5% price increases in early 2025, they remain below the double-digit gains of previous years. Overall, price growth in most metros has slowed to single digits. (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) On the investment front, NRIs are also showing interest in fractional ownership of commercial properties, especially in the Rs 1 million to Rs 2.5 million range. These investments are reportedly yielding 8–10% annual returns, according to Anarock. Live Events Mortgage rates have also begun to shift in favor of buyers. 'Leading banks in India have reduced their lending rates by 5–10 bps in May 2025 (from the peaks in mid-2024),' said Owen. 'However, loan demand is not linked solely to interest rates – overall sentiment, which is significantly influenced by the geopolitical environment, also plays a big role.' Luxury and ultra-luxury housing continue to dominate new supply. 'Driven by steady demand, luxury and ultra-luxury homes – priced from Rs 15 million – dominated new supply in Q1-25 with a 42% share,' Owen added. With prices cooling, financing improving, and supply shifting, NRIs may find new opportunities in India's evolving real estate market.

Nykaa shares slip 4% as brokerages flag fashion losses after Q4 results. Should you buy, sell or hold?
Reuters The persistent drag from fashion losses and an uneven margin trajectory could remain sticking points, at least in the near term. Shares of FSN E-Commerce Ventures, the parent company of Nykaa, fell as much as 3.8% to Rs 195.50 on Monday after the company's March-quarter results showed strong growth in its beauty business but continued weakness in fashion margins, prompting a mixed response from brokerages. While most analysts retained a bullish view on the company's beauty and personal care (BPC) performance, target prices and ratings varied sharply, reflecting divergent expectations on the pace of margin recovery and the impact of fashion segment losses. Among brokerages, JM Financial, Nuvama, IIFL Capital, and Nomura maintained positive views on the stock, highlighting Nykaa's resilient BPC segment and margin expansion, but Kotak Institutional Equities retained a 'reduce' rating, citing expensive valuations and continued weakness in fashion. Kotak Institutional Equities revised its target price to Rs 185 from Rs 170, implying a 5.4% downside from Monday's intraday low. The brokerage said, 'We trim FY2025-27 EBITDA estimates by 3-4%, driven by higher losses in fashion and B2B.' Kotak noted the steep 880 basis points year-on-year drop in fashion contribution margins and said, 'Reasonable growth trajectory, but valuations remain rich.' Nomura, while maintaining a 'neutral' rating, raised its target price to Rs 216 from Rs 190, implying a 10.5% upside. The brokerage said, 'Nykaa's focus on onboarding new global brands, expanding stores and product curation should continue to drive strong revenue growth in BPC. But margin improvement thus far has been slow and needs to pick up for us to turn more constructive.' Most brokerages pointed to the robust performance of Nykaa's BPC segment, which saw a 31% YoY GMV growth in Q4FY25 and contributed significantly to margin improvement. JM Financial reiterated a 'buy' rating and said, 'Nykaa BPC segment is going from strength to strength…despite seasonality-driven operating deleverage.' The brokerage said it expects sharper margin improvement in the coming years, driven by customer repeat purchases and working capital gains. JM set a target price of Rs 250, suggesting a 27.9% upside from the current market also maintained a 'buy' rating, raising its target to Rs 235 from Rs 205. The brokerage cut FY26/FY27 earnings estimates by 6.7% and 6.0%, respectively, but said, 'We are increasing medium-term growth and profitability.' This revised target implies a 20.2% upside from current Capital, too, kept a 'buy' call, with a target of Rs 220, or a 12.5% upside, saying, 'Own brands remain a key growth and margin driver…Nykaa continues to outperform overall Beauty market growth despite competition.'Despite signs of recovery in fashion GMV—up 18% YoY in Q4FY25—margin pressures continue to raise red flags. Multiple brokerages highlighted this as a concern, even as some remained hopeful for a turnaround. Elara Capital, which raised its target price to Rs 215 from Rs 195, acknowledged the fashion drag, stating, 'Losses in fashion are likely hitting trough and recovery to be key monitorable.' The brokerage maintained an 'accumulate' rating, with a 10% potential upside. JM Financial said it had 'pushed Fashion segment breakeven to FY27', citing ongoing marketing investments that weighed on margins. Nomura noted, 'EBITDA margin: Strong in BPC: 8.6%; weak in Fashion: -20%.' However, it welcomed Nykaa's shift in strategy towards proprietary brands in fashion, including lingerie and western wear. Nykaa's consolidated Q4FY25 revenue rose 24% YoY to Rs 2,267 crore, while profit after tax surged 193% to Rs 20 crore. However, on a sequential basis, both profit and revenue declined. EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 6.5%, ahead of consensus estimates, and the company posted a full-year net profit of Rs 66 crore, doubling from BPC business remained the cornerstone of growth. For FY25, BPC GMV rose 30% YoY to Rs 11,775 crore. The company continued to scale its proprietary 'House of Nykaa' brands and launched several global labels, including Chanel and GMV grew 18% YoY in Q4, but the segment remains a drag on overall opinions are split. Bulls argue that Nykaa's differentiated positioning in BPC, global brand partnerships, and improving margins justify its current valuation. Bears point to extended fashion losses and slower margin recovery as risks. Also read | Nykaa shares in focus after reporting 193% YoY surge in Q4 PAT With target prices implying anything from a 5% downside to nearly 28% upside, market sentiment on Nykaa remains divided. The stock may appeal to those willing to bet on the company's long-term growth in beauty and personal care, a segment where it continues to show strong execution. But for others, the persistent drag from fashion losses and an uneven margin trajectory could remain sticking points, at least in the near term.
