The rupee fall may be an opportunity for new investors in property but is also a problem for those already invested. NRI investors who had put in money in Indian real estate due to the high returns are suddenly finding the returns eroded. NRIs who hold premium properties are getting jittery and many have started selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
