We help investors own documented red sandalwood farmland in Andhra Pradesh. It is a genuine opportunity, and an honest one: this is a long-horizon, illiquid real asset, not a quick or guaranteed return. This page lays out exactly how the process works and how we handle the regulatory side, so you can decide with clear eyes.

The buying process

From your first question to a plot registered in your name, the path is deliberate. Nothing here should feel rushed.

Initial consultation. Tell us about your goals. We share an information pack covering the land, the managed model, the plans, the documentation, and, importantly, the risks.
Due diligence. We provide the documents you need, project details, plot papers, and our legal-compliance position, and we encourage a visit to a real, working plantation. Verify everything independently; a genuine operator invites scrutiny.
Proposal and agreement. We set out the plot, the 12-year managed term and the written agreement in plain terms. Our team prepares the paperwork, and we recommend independent legal advice before you sign.
Registration and confirmation. Payment is made through proper, traceable channels. The plot is registered in your name and you receive the original documents.
Ongoing management and reporting. We manage the plantation over the term and share regular progress updates, so you always know how your plot is doing.

The regulatory side, especially for NRIs

If you are investing from outside India, the rules matter, and we would rather flag them than gloss over them. Under FEMA, NRIs and OCIs generally cannot directly purchase agricultural or plantation land in India. Whether a compliant route fits your situation depends on your circumstances, which is why we begin every NRI engagement with a consultation and recommend independent FEMA advice. Any operator who says it is 'no problem' without reviewing your details is a warning sign. Fund transfers follow RBI-regulated banking channels.

What to weigh, honestly

Here is the honest version of why people consider red sandalwood, and what it is not. It is a rare hardwood with a legally constrained supply and real long-term demand, held as a tangible asset registered in your name. What it is not is a guaranteed return, a fixed or "stable" income, or a quick gain. Any eventual outcome depends on tree survival, growth, harvest timing, market prices and regulatory approvals over twelve years or more. Every figure on this site is illustrative only, never assured.

Read the risks page and take independent financial advice.

Choosing Shree Properties & Projects means choosing an operator that puts legality, documentation and honest expectations first. We would genuinely rather you do thorough due diligence and invest with clear eyes than simply take our word for it.

Important: Nothing on this page promises a return, an income, or an increase in value. Red sandalwood investment is long-horizon, illiquid, and carries a real risk of loss. Read the risks page and take independent financial and legal advice before investing.
