Formed under the Ministry of Urban Development, there are regional housing authorities at state and city level with pre-determined areas under jurisdiction. There are Metropolitan development agencies active in the metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and urban cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, etc. These undertake the mammoth task of providing adequate infrastructure facilities to the masses.

Any housing authority in India has to draft a development plan called Master Plan for their city that declares the development plans and objectives set forth by the regional housing authority. The implementation of these plans in an efficient and judicious way has enable the regional housing authorities in developing entirely global cities like Noida , Navi Mumbai etc. Special housing schemes are rendered for the Lower income groups (LIG), economically weaker sections (EWS) and the middle income groups (MIG).

As the property in India is being developed in a well-planned way utilizing the available resources including land and infrastructure facilities in the most optimal manner, there is a general stir of curious interest among the NRI investors for major real estate investments in India.
