India Set to Become the Largest Hub for Trump Towers Outside the U.S.
India is on track to become the top destination for Trump Towers outside the United States, with a major expansion of the luxury real estate brand planned across the country. The Trump Organization plans to add six new projects to its current four, aiming for a total of 10 developments within the next six years. This growth will include not only high-end residential towers but also office buildings, golf courses, and exclusive villas in major cities like Noida, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Gurgaon, and Pune.
Currently, India hosts four Trump Towers in Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon, and Kolkata, featuring approximately 30 lakh square feet of luxury living space across 800 residences. These high-end units, priced between Rs 6 crore and Rs 25 crore, represent a combined sale value estimated at Rs 7,500 crore. With six additional projects planned, including commercial and leisure developments, the brand’s total footprint in India is set to exceed 80 lakh square feet, with a projected sale value of Rs 15,000 crore.
Kalpesh Mehta, the visionary founder of Tribeca Developers and the Trump Organization’s exclusive partner in India, views this expansion as a major opportunity for growth. Mehta, an MBA graduate from Wharton School—alma mater to Donald Trump’s family—recounts his first meeting with Donald Trump Jr. over a decade ago, where initial discussions began on introducing the Trump brand to the Indian market. That meeting laid the groundwork for a successful real estate collaboration that has steadily grown since.
The Trump Tower Mumbai launch in 2014 marked Donald Trump’s first visit to India, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent election. Trump has consistently praised Modi and has expressed confidence in India’s immense economic promise. Over the years, the Trump Organization’s positive outlook on India’s real estate market has only strengthened. Now, with several new developments in the pipeline, India is positioned to become the country with the largest collection of Trump-branded properties outside the U.S.
The Trump Organization operates on a partnership model in India, where companies like Tribeca Developers handle the construction and financial aspects of each property, while the Trump brand lends its name and expertise to elevate standards in service and luxury. This approach has allowed Trump Towers in India to become synonymous with high-end amenities, distinctive design, and prime locations.
Mr. Mehta is optimistic about the future growth of the brand in India, underscoring the Trump Organization’s emphasis on quality over quantity to ensure each development is among the best in class. This commitment to excellence defines their joint ventures, and as the brand expands its presence in India, the focus remains firmly on delivering unparalleled luxury and exclusivity.
The planned Trump Towers will not only redefine the skylines of India’s key cities but are also expected to have a notable economic impact. With projects in sought-after locations like Gurgaon, Pune, and Mumbai, the towers are anticipated to attract a mix of domestic and international buyers. The addition of exclusive amenities such as golf courses and villas in select cities will appeal to discerning buyers seeking world-class living experiences.
Additionally, the strong diplomatic relationship between India and the U.S., highlighted by the mutual respect between Prime Minister Modi and former President Trump, has played a role in the success of Trump Towers in India. The positive rapport between the two leaders has fostered a climate conducive to cross-border collaboration, further supporting the growth of ventures like Trump Towers in the Indian market.
In Pune, which already has a Trump Tower, a new Trump-branded development featuring office spaces is set to launch. Plans for a Trump golf course and villas in another city are also underway, reinforcing the Trump brand’s stronghold in India’s luxury real estate segment. With an overall investment reaching into billions of rupees, this expansion is anticipated to generate a significant economic impact across the regions involved.
