CapitaLand aims to increase its FUM in India from the current S$7.4 billion (Rs 45,670 crore) to over S$14.8 billion (Rs 90,280 crore) by the end of 2028. This expansion is part of the company’s broader global strategy, with its total FUM projected to exceed S$200 billion worldwide during the same period.
Lee Chee Koon, Group CEO of CapitaLand, emphasized that India is becoming a key destination for global corporations and institutional investors seeking high-quality real assets. To leverage this growing demand, CapitaLand is looking into new investment opportunities in renewable energy and real estate private credit within the country.
The company’s strategy aims to capitalize on India’s dynamic economic landscape and expanding infrastructure needs. In a recent development, CapitaLand launched a new fund specifically for business park development in India. This initiative is expected to contribute an additional S$700 million to its FUM, further solidifying the company’s presence in the region.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Singapore underscores the strengthening economic relationship between India and the city-state. During his two-day trip, Modi will engage with Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and other prominent leaders.
Singapore remains one of India’s largest trading partners, accounting for 3.2% of India’s total trade. In the 2024 fiscal year alone, India imported goods worth $21.2 billion from Singapore, while exports amounted to $14.4 billion. Additionally, Singapore is the top source of foreign direct investment (FDI) into India, with cumulative inflows surpassing $160 billion since 2000.
Lee Chee Koon noted, ‘The growing demand for quality real assets from global corporations and institutional investors is a testament to India’s robust market potential. We are excited about the opportunities in renewable energy and real estate private credit as we expand our footprint in India.’
