India 'semi-transparent' in 2016 real estate index 
India has figured in the 'Semi-Transparent' category of the JLL Global Real Estate Transparency Index 2016. India's tier-I cities were ranked 36th in the list of 109 countries, while the tier II and III cities were at 39th and 52nd positions, respectively. The report owed India's "modest" performance to regulatory reforms and simplified procedures for acquiring land, among others.
