This shift is driven by a favorable regulatory environment and strong market performance, leading to diversified investments and risk mitigation strategies.
The housing property market has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability amidst varying economic conditions. Reforms such as the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) have enhanced transparency and accountability within the sector.
According to experts, this diversified approach is rooted in several key trends and developments within the Indian real estate market. The regulatory environment in India has become more conducive to real estate institutional investments.
This, along with the housing property markets' performance, has instilled confidence among investors, who are now more willing to explore different types of residential projects and stages of development.
By spreading their investments across a broader spectrum, they are mitigating risks and tapping into various opportunities that the market presents. A year ago, all investments in the residential segment went into late-stage under-construction projects, but now nearly half of them are going into early-stage projects.
Early-stage, greenfield, and equity-driven deals, largely dominated by domestic investors, underscore the sector's strength and long-term potential.
These early-stage investments often involve funding projects at the initial phases of planning and development, which can include land acquisition, securing permits, and preliminary construction.
The shift towards early-stage investments signifies a vote of confidence in the fundamental strength and future trajectory of the residential market.
Investors are recognising the potential for higher returns by getting involved at the foundational level.
