India's wealthy are moving their money to dollar assets
India's richest are putting more of their money into dollar-based investments through GIFT City, hoping to dodge the falling rupee.
This shift comes from a new survey by India Sotheby's International Realty, released January 25.
What are they investing in?
Stocks are still the top pick—67% prefer them—while real estate is close behind at 64%.
More investors are also looking at AIFs, REITs, and InvITs for real assets.
Most expect up to 15% returns now, showing people are getting a bit more realistic about profits.
How do they feel about the economy?
Even with global uncertainty, two-thirds see India growing in the next couple years.
Still, most now expect GDP growth of just 6-7% in FY27 (down from earlier hopes for above 7%).
Urban homes remain hot: city properties make up almost a third of both main residences and investments.
Why does this matter?
It's a sign that even India's elite want safer bets and steady returns—not wild risks.
If you're curious about how big investors think and where money is flowing next, this snapshot says a lot about shifting priorities right now.
