What Infrastructure Is Needed to Meet Demand?
Rishikesh bypass road
The four-lane bypass has been approved. The report does not provide a completion date.
Jolly Grant Airport (Jolly Grant Airport)
The research cites among the supportive reasons the closeness to Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport.
Delhi-Dehradun Expressway
The expressway was launched on 14 April 2026 and reduces Delhi–Dehradun trip to around 2.5 hours. Realtynmore has earlier claimed that it was projected to enhance demand in nearby locations like Rishikesh.
What do buyers want in a second home?
Buyers want good infrastructure, access to health care, everyday conveniences and a sense of community. Second houses are no longer simply occasional lifestyle assets – a theme we explored in how holiday destinations are becoming real estate hotspots.
“Buyers are asking more about whether a place will enhance their lives rather than just its location,” says HP Global Infrra CEO Dr Annkit A Jayant, quoted in the Realtynmore research. The developer is setting itself up for long-term growth, which is compatible with a long horizon residential investment.
