Jewar Airport: More than double return in 5 years! Why investing in land here is a realty win-win

Noida International Airport in Jewar: Investment in land is one of the major attractions among real estate investors. As Modi government announced to kick-start the long-awaited Jewar International Airport in Noida, property experts have gone bullish over the land price appreciation in the region. Industry insiders are expecting at least 120 per cent gains on land investment by the time Jewar Airport would become operational. 

Giving an idea about the land prices in the region Ankur Dhawan, Chief Investment Officer at PropTiger.com told Zee Business online, "There are various kinds of lands available in the region. Those being developed by the authority is available in the range of Rs 9,000 per square meter while plots developed by the developers, the prices fall in the range of Rs 22,000 to Rs 25,000 per yards. However, the agriculture plots available in the vicinity of Jewar Airport, prices are in the range of Rs 5,000 per square meter." Elaborating upon the differences among the plots being made available by authority, builders and the local farmers and risk involved in these land investments Ankur Dhawan told, "Land offered by builders are inclusive of the amenities like swimming pool, club membership, parking etc. while the plot offered by the authority lacks these amenities." On agriculture land, he said that land use has to get converted by the buyer as anybody coming to buy the land won't be interested in agriculture or farming. So, agriculture land contains the highest level of risk for investors.
