The middle class of India's staggering population of over 1.3billion is increasing rapidly, especially in Greater Metropolitan Mumbai which itself has quite a large population (2) and as such is one of the largest residential markets in India. Mumbai also has a long history as a financial center and the income level there is high compared to other cities in India. Additionally, demand for housing in Mumbai is expected to grow even further, as urbanization advances rapidly due to the growing number of high-rise buildings and the improvement of the housing environment which is, in part, the result of improvement in highway and railway networks. Furthermore, since the real estate market in Mumbai's capital of Maharashtra adheres strictly to India's Real Estate Regulation Act, increased market transparency is expected to lead to a healthy and stable market.

Marubeni will contribute to a high-quality housing supply that combines both Marubeni's knowledge and experience in Japanese development, and also Indian culture and lifestyle. Lastly, Marubeni's activities in India will not be limited to the promotion of smart cities and other such real estate development business. Marubeni will also expand its scope into a number of related development businesses, including social infrastructure maintenance and the new sales channels and services these businesses produce. In this way, Marubeni will grow the Indian market as a pillar of its overseas real estate business.
