Imagine There's a scene playing out in real estate offices across Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Delhi-NCR right now that tells you something important about where we are. A buyer from Dubai calls in to discuss a property he's been eyeing for months — a luxury apartment in a premium tower.

Every few years, India announces a mega infrastructure project. An airport. An expressway. An industrial corridor. Farmland is acquired, compensation is paid, and the news cycle moves on. But what happens to the families left behind — now suddenly holding crores in cash and no land to farm? The answer, as Jewar's development corridor makes painfully clear, is complicated. And it has very little to do...

Used poorly, it can strain cash flows and turn a promising investment into a...

Imagine a monsoon evening in Mumbai: the rain is relentless, water seeps up the street, and the once-secure dream home is swept away. Move to Delhi in May, when the heat is so fierce that even covered balconies offer no respite. These are no longer extraordinary extremes; they are now part of everyday city life.  This is where the debate over climate change and real estate really...
