Retail Boom Pushes Namchi’s Commercial Land Prices Higher
Namchi, the capital of South Sikkim, is experiencing a surge in retail space demand, resulting in a 12% price hike for commercial plots. The current rates have climbed to approximately Rs 1,500–2,000 per sq ft, indicating strong investor interest in the region’s real estate sector.
