Diversification and flexibility in investment assets are the way to go this year. Let’s explore how NRIs can increase their investment in 2025.

  1. Equity Investment

    Equity investment looks hopeful in 2025 with perpetual high trades soaring 20% since 2021. A clever move in 2025 is to invest in partial gains.

    The initial public offering (IPO) pipeline in India and shares in tech and manufacturing sectors are anticipated to outperform in the following years. These are worth investing in from the NRIs' perspective. 

  2. Mutual Funds and Fixed Deposit Investment

    It is a good year to diversify in mutual fund assets. Multi-asset, Flexi-cap, balanced, and hybrid funds are all good investments right now.

    Inflation has surged over the RBI's target range, prompting speculation of a rate hike. Long-term and medium-term debts are likely to suffer. The short-term debt is likely to remain unaffected. Investing in funds for 1-2 years would be a wise decision.

  3. Investment in Gold  

    Investing 10% of assets in gold would be a wise choice. Gold is now 14 percent more expensive in India than worldwide with a new CESS and surcharge on customs duty. 

  4. Investment in Real Estate

    Real estate is slowly rebounding after years of stagnation. NRIs can take advantage of the rupee's devaluation against the dollar and other major currencies. Despite a minor price increase, home loans remain historically low.

    These are some of the top ideas to invest in for NRIs in India in the year 2025. So save smartly and invest cleverly.
