India ranks 26th in global real estate transparency index, enters top 30

India has risen five positions to rank 26th globally in JLL's 2026 Global Real Estate Transparency Index, breaking into the top 30 most transparent real estate markets worldwide.

The improvement was fuelled by regulatory reforms, expansion of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), increased transaction transparency, and improved sustainability disclosures. JLL noted that heightened transparency in the sector could help attract greater institutional capital into Indian real estate markets.
