Real estate developers have been at the forefront of the real estate boom sweeping across the length and breadth of India. Armed with efficient units of architects, engineers and managers, builders like DLF have managed to change the skyline of many Indian cities. World-class residential and commercial structures have come up in a big way courtesy the pioneering efforts of Indian real estate developers.

In line with the phenomenal growth witnessed by the industry, the builders community too has been expanding at a rapid pace. The top echelons are occupied by giants like DLF, Unitech and Raheja's who boast of a pan-Indian presence and are harbingers of cutting-edge technologies. Second-rung builders such as Omaxe, Parsvnath and Eldeco too are vying for a share of the growing Indian real estate pie.

With the Government of India opening the construction and development sector for 100 per cent foreign direct investment, Indian real estate developers are bracing up for an intensifying realty war. More and more builders are coming out of their regional strongholds to seek greener pastures in different locations of the country.
