Unnati Varma of ORA Land, Kamlesh Thakur of NAREDCO Maharashtra and Nihar Jayesh Thakkar of The Mandate House said long term investors should view gold, stocks and land as complementary assets.
ORA Land, NAREDCO Maharashtra and The Mandate House have weighed in on the growing comparison between gold, stocks and land as Indian investors reassess long term wealth options.
The discussion has gained attention as investors continue to evaluate the role of traditional and growth linked assets in their portfolios. Gold remains a familiar option during uncertain market conditions, while stocks continue to attract investors seeking higher returns despite short term volatility. Land is drawing interest due to infrastructure led development, urban expansion and demand for plotted projects in emerging locations.
Industry experts said there is no single winner among the three asset classes, since investment choices depend on risk appetite, investment horizon and financial goals. They said each asset plays a different role in a diversified portfolio.
Unnati Varma, Director, ORA Land by ORA Group, said, “Gold and stocks will always remain important components of a diversified portfolio, but land investment has a unique long term advantage because of its finite nature and growing demand. With major infrastructure projects opening up new growth corridors, strategically located land parcels are witnessing strong appreciation potential.”
She said organised plotted developments in emerging destinations such as Karjat are drawing buyers seeking secure, legally clear and infrastructure backed land investments.
Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra and Co Founder and Managing Director, Srishti Group, said, “Every asset class plays a distinct role in an investor’s portfolio. Gold offers stability during periods of uncertainty, equities create opportunities for higher growth, while land continues to stand out as a resilient, inflation resistant asset with strong long term appreciation potential.”
He said infrastructure led urban expansion, including highways, metro corridors, industrial hubs and connectivity projects, is turning peripheral regions into investment destinations around major cities.
Nihar Jayesh Thakkar, Founder, The Mandate House Pvt. Ltd., said, “Stocks may deliver faster returns during bullish cycles, but they also demand higher risk tolerance and active monitoring. Gold acts more as a defensive asset. Land, particularly in high potential growth corridors, offers a balanced proposition of long term capital appreciation and asset security.”
He said investors are increasingly evaluating future growth ecosystems rather than only present value, particularly in emerging destinations.
The broader view from industry experts is that gold, stocks and land should not be seen only as competing choices. Equities may offer liquidity and growth during strong economic cycles, gold can provide stability during uncertainty, and land can offer tangible value and long term appreciation when linked to infrastructure and urban expansion.
