Real estate consultant CBRE on Friday released its latest report, 'Market Monitor Q3 2025 Investments', highlighting that the total equity investments rose to $3.8 billion in the third quarter of this calendar year from $2.6 billion in the year-ago period.
During the latest September quarter, the inflows were primarily fuelled by capital deployment into land/development sites and built-up office and retail assets. This trend underscores the growing confidence of investors in the Indian real estate market.
In the first nine months of 2025, the equity investments increased 14 per cent annually to $10.2 billion from $8.9 billion in the same period last year. This consistent growth indicates a strong and resilient sector, capable of attracting substantial investments.
During the full 2024 calendar year, the equity investments in Indian real estate stood at $11.4 billion. This historical context provides a benchmark for the current growth trajectory, showing that the sector is on a positive path.
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, 'The healthy inflow of domestic capital demonstrates the sector's resilience and depth.' He added, 'India's real estate sector is entering a phase of accelerated growth, driven by continued investor confidence. In the upcoming quarters, greenfield developments are likely to continue witnessing a robust momentum, with a healthy spread across residential, office, mixed-use, data centres, and industrial & logistics sectors.'
Gaurav Kumar, Managing Director, Capital Markets and Land, CBRE India, noted that the investment landscape is becoming more diversified, with capital deployment into both built-up and development assets. 'In addition to global institutional investors, Indian sponsors accounted for a significant part of the total inflows. India's ability to combine strong domestic capital with global institutional participation will remain a key differentiator in 2026 and beyond,' Kumar said.
These insights from industry leaders highlight the multifaceted nature of the real estate market in India, which is not only attracting foreign investment but also witnessing strong domestic participation. The sector's ability to diversify and adapt to changing market conditions is a testament to its resilience and potential for future growth.
