4 Reasons Why Your Next Investment Should Be In Dehradun

Since gaining independence, India’s economy has steadily advanced, but the last few years have marked a transformative phase of historic progress. Even as the world faced prolonged aftershocks of the pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and economic slowdowns, India has emerged as a resilient global force — maintaining robust growth, accelerating reforms, and solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.

The country now boasts the 4th largest economy in the world as per International Monetary Fund. It is imperative to be cognizant of the fact that a significant contributor to this development in the face of adverse global economic conditions, is the ever-evolving and adapting investment landscape of the nation. While erstwhile it was the 8 metropolitan cities of the country which were the cardinal investment zones, the central and state governments have made concentrated efforts by instituting an array of policies and initiatives to expand the radius to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

The government’s initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission, in addition to the lower cost of living, relatively low entry costs on investment, higher yields, and superior infrastructural framework are precipitating these heretofore latent locales into a profitable investment opportunity. One of the Tier 2 cities leading this movement is the city of Dehradun, also commonly known as Dun.  Let us discuss some of the many reasons to invest in the flourishing region:

Advantageous Location:   The city of Dehradun is located adjacent to the capital city of Uttarakhand. While a couple of decades ago the city was just a cluster of villages, today it has transformed into a buzzing locale with seamless inter and intrastate connectivity. A modern and systematic connectivity and transit schema plays an integral role in transfiguring a landscape into one apt for commercial and residential investment. The construction of the Delhi-Dehradun wildlife corridor expressway for instance has vastly improved the connectivity of Dehradun to other cities like Delhi, UP, Noida, Gurugram, Chandigarh. Further, the road also connects the city with the Char Dham Highway which provides a smooth commute to the very important char dham of the country. In addition to this, the city is also linked to major cities like Noida, Chandigarh, and Delhi via a modern railway transit system and a world-class international Jollygrant airport. The proposed Metro link between DHR growth Corridor (Dehradun-Haridwar-Rishikesh) is primed to further boost access to the city.

Government Initiatives: The government of India has rolled out numerous programmes such as the Smart Cities Mission to develop advanced core infrastructure in Tier 2 and 3 cities. This has encouraged both foreign and domestic investors to pay attention to the untapped investment potential in these cities. In addition to this, the Uttarakhand Government, with the assistance of central government, launched Skill Development and various entrepreneur missions to attract investments. Government initiatives like these are greatly responsible for the development of Dehradun into an IT, industry, and business Hub.

Employment Opportunities: The availability of vast land parcels in Dehradun at comparatively lower entry costs than saturated metro cities has made it an attractive destination for investors across sectors like real estate, education, healthcare, and tourism. With the city witnessing rapid infrastructure development and a growing presence of reputed institutions and businesses, Dehradun is evolving into a thriving economic hub. With its robust infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic location in the Dehradun-Haridwar-Rishikesh corridor, Dehradun is poised to generate employment opportunities for thousands of professionals, cementing its status as a magnet for the talented minds of tomorrow.

Healthcare and Education: Dehradun is emerging as a hub for the healthcare and education sectors. The region has several leading hospitals, medical colleges, and research institutes, which have attracted students and patients from different parts of the country. The city’s proximity to Noida, Gurugram has also been a significant advantage in the growth of the healthcare and education sectors. The education sector in Dehradun has been witnessing significant growth in recent years as well. The region has several leading educational institutes such as the Doon School, the Welham, and the University of Petroleum & Energy Studies. These institutions have been attracting students from different parts of the country and the world and contributing to the growth of the education sector in the region.
