Raipur real estate: homes, flats and the rules for overseas buyers

Raipur is the capital of Chhattisgarh and a hub for steel, power and mining businesses. Naya Raipur, a planned administrative capital, lies to the south-east. Demand comes mainly from local professionals and families, and it is not a holiday market. Neighbouring options are limited in our dataset: Bilaspur is the nearest larger city, while Gurgaon and Kolkata are major markets elsewhere in India.

Non-resident Indians and holders of Overseas Citizen of India cards can generally buy residential and commercial property, but not agricultural land, plantations or farmhouses. Other foreign nationals living abroad are generally barred from buying, apart from limited cases such as inheritance. Rules also cover how funds must be remitted, so take advice from an Indian lawyer and chartered accountant.

Check that a project is registered under RERA, confirm title and plan approvals, and budget for state stamp duty and registration. See the India buying guide and financing guide, or the India country page.
