Why Agricultural Land Could Be Your Smartest Investment in India- The Untapped Goldmine of Indian Real Estate
Here's why Farmland should be in your portfolio, along with must-know tips to invest safely.
5 Powerful Benefits of Investing in Agricultural Land:
1. Evergreen Demand = Guaranteed Returns
India needs to feed 1.7 billion people by 2050, but:
- Urbanisation is swallowing 3 lakh acres of farmland yearly (ICAR report)
- Climate change is reducing crop yields in traditional breadbaskets
This supply crunch makes fertile Agricultural Land one of the few assets that appreciates reliably, with historical returns of 10-15% annually in growth corridors.
2. Beat Inflation Like a Pro
While inflation erodes bank FD returns, farmland:
- Grows in value as food prices rise
- Generates 3-8% rental yields from farmers (better than most rental properties)
- Qualifies for tax-free capital gains if reinvested under Section 54B
3. Government Goldmine
The Modi government is pouring money into farming through:
- PM-KISAN (₹6,000/year direct transfers)
- 100% FDI allowed in farm infrastructure
- Subsidies for drip irrigation, solar pumps, and organic farming
4. Outperform Urban Real Estate
Compare the two:
Parameter City Property Agricultural Land Entry Price ₹1Cr+ for small plot ₹5-20L/acre (semi urban) Appreciation Stagnant in many areas 10-25% near growth zones Additional Income Only rentals Crops + leasing + tourism
5. Farmhouse Boom
Wealthy Indians are snapping up farmland for:
- Luxury Farmhouse retreats (50- 150 km from metros)
- Organic food startups (₹500/kg for exotic veggies)
- Solar power plants (25-year govt. contracts)
5 Crucial Precautions You Should Take
1. Ensure Dispute-Free Property
- Verify 7/12 extract & 8A mutation papers
- Check for family disputes (common in inherited land)
- Confirm no bank liens or pending litigation
2. Location Intelligence
High-growth zones:
- Within 100km of metros
- Along expressways
- Near upcoming airports
Red flags:
- Water-scarce regions
- Naxal-affected districts
- Restricted tribal areas
3. Soil & Water Audit
- Test for soil nutrients (labs charge ₹2,000-5,000)
- Check groundwater levels (avoid areas with >500ft borewells)
- Verify electricity availability for pumps
4. Legal Safeguards
- Non-agriculturists can't buy in J&K, Himachal
- Tribal land requires special permissions in many states
- Conversion charges apply for farmhouse construction
5. Exit Strategy
- Keep land within municipal limits for easier resale
- Prefer areas with clear zoning policies
- Document all access roads (avoid landlocked plots)
Bottom line:
Agricultural Land investment offers what no other asset can:
✔ Inflation-proof income
✔ Explosive appreciation near cities
✔ Multiple profit streams (crops, leasing, development)
Ideal for:
- NRIs building India portfolios
- Business owners diversifying beyond stocks
- Young investors starting with ₹5-20L

India, UK unveil road map to boost defence, tech, energy ties
India, UK unveil road map to boost defence, tech, energy ties Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly raised issues like the need to shun double standards on terrorism, presence of Indian economic offenders in the UK and Khalistan extremism in his meeting with counterpart Keir Starmer, saying those who use democratic freedom to undermine democracy must be held accountable. Thanking Starmer for his strong condemnation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Modi said that the two leaders were united in their view that there can be no place for double standards in the fight against terrorism. Modi also said that Indian and British agencies would work together for the extradition of economic offenders, in what was seen as a clear message to fugitives such as Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Sanjay Bhandari that government intends to get them back to face legal action in the country. Although government has got assistance, Mallya and Nirav Modi have been seeking to prolong their stay in the UK by using multiple forums for appeal. While the formalisation of India-UK free trade agreement was the highlight of Modi's visit to the UK, another significant takeaway was the launch of a Vision 2035 roadmap for boosting ties in areas like defence, technology, education, clean energy and people-to-people contacts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The leaders adopted a blueprint for defence industrial cooperation to promote, as the Indian government said, collaboration in co-design, co-development and co-production of defence products to meet the growing demand in both countries as well as for the world market. On the issue of Khalistan extremism, which he was expected to raise with Starmer, Modi said there was agreement between India and the UK that forces with extremist ideologies must not be allowed to misuse democratic freedoms. "Those who misuse democratic freedoms to undermine democracy itself must be held to account," said the PM, in his joint press statement with the UK PM. "On the matter of extradition of economic offenders as well, our agencies will continue to work together in close coordination and cooperation," added Modi, who sought the UK's cooperation in bringing the fugitives to justice. India and the UK also reached an agreement between the CBI and the UK's National Crime Agency to jointly fight organised crime. Foreign secretary Vikram Misri said that the leaders committed to strengthen the global fight against terrorism. "While noting that extremism and radicalisation pose threat to both societies, they agreed to further enhance bilateral cooperation to deal with the menace," said the official. Modi said that Vision 2035 will serve as a roadmap for a strong, trusted, and ambitious partnership in the areas of technology, defence, climate, education, and people-to-people connectivity. "It is our commitment that, from AI to critical minerals, semiconductors to cyber security, we shall create the future together," he said, while inviting Starmer to visit India soon. Starmer accepted the invitation. Amid concerns over the erratic US trade policies, both sides also sought to promote a fair, non-discriminatory and inclusive trading system. According to the roadmap, India and the UK reaffirmed their shared commitment to a rules-based international order and to strengthening multilateralism through meaningful reform. Importantly for India, the roadmap focuses on reform of the United Nations, including the security council, and other multilateral institutions such as the Commonwealth, WTO, WHO, IMF, and the World Bank, ensuring these bodies "reflect contemporary global realities and are equipped to address emerging challenges".

There may be a swing or a miss, but we play with straight bat: PM Modi
There may be a swing or a miss, but we play with straight bat: PM Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asserted that the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) would pave the way for enhanced market access in the UK for Indian textiles, footwear, gems and jewellery, seafood, and engineering goods. "It will also unlock new opportunities for India's agricultural produce and processed food industry. Above all, this agreement will be especially beneficial for India's youth, farmers, fishermen, and the MSME sector. On the other hand, UK-made products such as medical devices and aerospace components will become more accessible and affordable for Indian consumers and industries." Besides, he said, the Double Contribution Convention - which will remove the burden on Indian employees on temporary assignments in the UK from making social security contributions in both countries - will reduce costs, make it easier for doing business and help the UK get access to skilled Indian talent. "This will inject new momentum into the service sectors of both countries, particularly in technology and finance. " Highlighting the contribution of Indians in Britain, Modi said, "They didn't just bring curry from India, but also creativity, commitment and character." "I would be remiss not to mention cricket when India and the UK are coming together, especially during a Test series. For both of us cricket is not just a game but a passion. And also, a great metaphor for our partnership. There may be a swing and a miss at times. But we always play with a straight bat. We are committed to building a high scoring solid partnership," he said.
