Investment activity in India's real estate market reached a new peak in the January-September 2024 period, driven by a resurgence in capital deployment during the June quarter.

With a favorable demographic profile and an affordable talent pool, India is positioned for sustainable and rapid growth in its residential, retail, office, and logistics sectors. Kumar added, “As India's demographic profile continues to pay rich dividends and an affordable talent pool keeps adding at a fast pace, we expect sustainable and rapid growth in India's residential, retail, office, and logistics sectors.”
