Unlocking High-ROI Opportunities: WhyNRIs in North America Are Eyeing PunjabReal Estate
Punjab’s real estate market offers NRIs high ROI through favourable currency, infrastructure growth, and expert advice from Epique Real Ventures.
By USA News | February 15, 2026
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) based in the US and Canada are increasingly recognising Punjab’s real estate market as a credible, high-ROI asset class within a diversified global portfolio. A favourable currency equation, improving transparency through RERA, and a pipeline of large-scale infrastructure projects are reshaping the state’s investment
narrative—transforming emotional hometown attachment into strategic wealth creation.
In parallel, a new generation of professional advisory firms, such as Epique Real Ventures, recently honoured with Excellence in NRI Real Estate Consulting at The Tribune Achievers Awards 2025, is giving overseas investors the institutional-grade support they expect from mature markets.
Currency Advantage for North American Investors
The currency standpoint currently favours NRIs. As of early 2026, the Indian rupee trades near ₹90 per US dollar, while the British pound stands well above ₹105 to the rupee, significantly enhancing purchasing power for dollar- and pound-earning investors compared to just a few years ago.
North America-based Punjabis now find mid- to upper mid-segment homes in the ₹1–2 crore range in locations like Mohali, New Chandigarh, and parts of Ludhiana relatively more affordable in hard-currency terms, even before factoring in future appreciation. Every dollar or pound stretches further on the ground in Punjab than it did in the previous cycle.
Proven Market Performance
Market performance data provides an additional layer of comfort. Key micro-markets such as Mohali have seen near double-digit annual price growth, with certain corridors sustaining around 9–10% year-on-year appreciation as end-user demand deepens
Rental yields in well-connected sectors typically range between 3.5–5%, translating into monthly rents of about ₹25,000–₹40,000 on a ₹60 lakh apartment, depending on configuration and location.
Industry reports covering Punjab’s recent “real estate renaissance” note that NRI-backed investments have, in select integrated developments, generated returns of up to 30% over the holding period when project selection and timing were handled prudently.
Infrastructure-Driven Growth
Infrastructure development underpins much of this performance. Projects such as the PR-11 road corridor, national highway linkages, and upgrades around Mohali International Airport have already led to a re-rating of surrounding areas, including Aerocity and the wider airport belt.
As new connectivity projects and urban extensions are delivered over the next few years, these nodes are expected to solidify as long-term residential and commercial hubs, providing further upside potential to early, well-advised investors.
The Role of Expert Advisory
NRIs investing from thousands of miles away find that the quality of local advice becomes as important as the asset itself. This is where specialist advisory firms are playing a pivotal role.
Epique Real Ventures, a Punjab-focused consultancy, has been recognised with Excellence in NRI Real Estate Consulting at The Tribune Achievers Awards 2025, presented by Hon’ble Haryana Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini, acknowledging its work in structuring and executing NRI transactions.
The firm’s model combines the following:
- On-ground due diligence
- RERA and legal verification
- Pricing and negotiation support
- Post-possession assistance
This comprehensive approach enables overseas investors to operate with the same level of discipline and transparency they would expect in North American markets.
Insight from Leadership
Commenting on the trend, Himanshu Pant, Managing Director of Epique Real Ventures, says:
“NRIs in the US and Canada are no longer looking at Punjab property only as an emotional investment; they are evaluating it the way they would assess any serious asset class—on fundamentals, governance, and long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Our role is to sit on their side of the table, filter out noise, and convert distance and information gaps into clarity, structure, and confidence.”
Conclusion
US-based NRIs evaluating exposure to India beyond equities and remittances will find Punjab’s property market, supported by data-driven advisory through recognised firms like Epique Real Ventures, offers a compelling proposition: the familiarity of home combined with the rigour of institutional investing.
