"Real estate has climbed to the 5th position in the 2024 Hurun India Rich List, with 42 new entrants, up from 9th place in 2023, highlighting the sector's strong momentum. This growth is driven by a rapidly expanding middle class, robust economic growth, and rising investments. With the middle class expected to reach 547 million by 2030, residential sales are projected to increase by 10-12% in FY 2024-25, bolstered by approximately $ 4 billion in annual foreign investments," said Anas Rahman Junaid, founder and chief researcher, Hurun India.

The report also noted that Dubai-based PNC Menon, founder and chairman of Sobha Group and originally from Palakkad, Kerala, has committed to building 50 homes for survivors of the Wayanad landslide. Menon is ranked 117th in the List with a wealth of 24,200 crore.
