“India’s real estate sector is at a critical inflection point. While institutional investments touched a record USD 8.1 billion in 2025, the sector’s next phase of growth depends on resolving its biggest bottleneck: data fragmentation. With the PropTech market expected to grow from USD 918 million in 2022 to nearly USD 3.8 billion by 2030, the upcoming Union Budget must deliver a decisive push towards open data initiatives, digital land records, and Tokenisation.
By treating Land as Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), the government creates the necessary foundation for an AI-driven transformation. Verified, open data is the raw material that allows AI models to move from simple reporting to intelligent forecasting—predicting urban expansion, automating legal due diligence, and identifying title risks in seconds. Ultimately, this fusion of DPI and AI is the only way to achieve reduced litigation, increased transaction speed, and absolute transparency. A budget that prioritizes this digital backbone will be the true catalyst for a modern real estate economy.
