Shop or commercial plot: which earns more rent in Jaipur?
By Jaiprime Research Desk · Reviewed by Rishabh GargUpdated
Short answer
A leased shop on a good street starts earning immediately, typically around 7% to 10% gross in prime Jaipur locations. A commercial plot earns nothing until you build, but gives you control and can produce a higher total return if you develop and lease it well. Shops suit income investors; plots suit builders with capital and patience.
