Why NRI Investors Are Focusing on Real Estate in Koramangala in 2025

On 10 August 2025, while Bengaluru’s Yellow Line took its maiden run from RV Road to Bommasandra, a tech lead in Singapore clicked “Pay Now” on and closed a ₹5.2-crore, 4-BHK in Radiance Platinum, Koramangala—without boarding a flight.

His reason: “Dollar-denominated yield, rupee upside, and parents want the same PIN code as their morning filter-kaapi friends.” That single transaction captures why Koramangala has become the NRI sweet-spot of 2025.

Global Tailwinds Steering Money Home

India’s G20 spotlight, stable rupee and 5.2% GDP growth have revived nostalgia-plus-returns investing. Physical assets now compete with US equities: a 3.8% gross rental yield plus 26% YoY price appreciation beats the S&P 500’s 10-year average. Bengaluru, already the world’s back-office, is also the city most-searched by NRIs on housing portals, and Koramangala is its beating start-up heart.

Location: Still the Only 3-Word Rule

Spread across 1,500 acres between Hosur Road, Inner Ring Road and the ORR, Koramangala houses 2,000+ start-ups and 150+ global capability centres.

Translation: high-salaried tenants who pay premium rents and renew leases even in downturns. A 3-BHK here commands ₹93,119 a month on average, and corporate leases close in 48 hours—something Silicon Valley landlords can only dream of.

Price Momentum You Can Bank On

City-wide data shows ₹19,493 per sq ft average, up 26.69–30.38% in 12 months. Radiance Platinum’s phase-II release opened at ₹20,400 and was 64% sold to NRIs within three weeks. Add the newly-doubled Karnataka registration fee (effective 31 Aug) and every delay costs 7.6% in stamp duty, registration and cess—making early-bird inventory the smartest arbitrage in town.

Rental Math That Beats Fixed Deposits

Plug the numbers into any yield calculator:

Monthly rent ₹93,119 × 12 ÷ (₹19,493 × 1,500 sq ft) = 3.82% gross.

With dollar-rupee differentials, that translates into a 5.4% USD yield for an NRI bringing funds through an NRE account. Factor in 10–12% annual rent escalation clauses that Radiance Realty inserts for corporate leases, and the asset turns into an inflation-indexed bond with a Bangalore address.

Metro: The 19-Kilometre Catalyst

The Yellow Line opened 10 August 2025, connecting the Central Silk Board—five minutes from Radiance Platinum—to Electronic City in 18 minutes. Maximum fare ₹90, 5 am–11 pm service, 250,000 daily riders expected. Result: rental demand now spills over from Whitefield and Sarjapur to Koramangala because the commute is finally predictable. Early leasing data shows 18% higher footfall at Radiance project sites within a fortnight of metro launch.

RBI & FEMA: The Rulebook Is Finally Simple

NRIs can buy residential real estate through normal banking channels; agricultural land is off-limits. Radiance’s dedicated NRI desk (radiancerealty.in/nri.php) handles:

  • Virtual tour → digital POA → home-loan sanction with all major banks in 72 hours.

All agreements are escrowed under RERA, eliminating the diversion risk that once scared global buyers.

Why Radiance Scores

Radiance Suprema and Radiance The Pride were delivered ahead of schedule; CC dates are published on radiancerealty.in/completed-projects.php. Every site runs an on-site QA/QC lab logging 40,000+ checkpoints—structure, MEP, finishes—so an NRI buyer landing after two years walks into zero-defect homes. The company’s statutory-compliance page (radiancerealty.in/statutory-compliance.php) hosts all approvals, making due-diligence a single-link exercise for overseas banks.

Risk Mitigation Checklist

  • Currency: 3-year USD-INR forward cover available at 2.8% premium.
  • Liquidity: Koramangala resale inventory turns over in 89 days on average.
  • Legal: Radiance projects carry OC, CC and digital land-chain insurance; funds rest in a scheduled-bank escrow until OC.
