Gaurav Kumar, Managing Director of Capital Markets and Land at CBRE India, attributed the record flow of investments to several factors. He stated, “A rebound in the office leasing market, strong disposal incomes, and an unprecedented risk appetite for consumer spending and home buying have led to this record investment flow in the first nine months of 2024.”
Domestic investors accounted for approximately 79 percent of equity capital inflows in the July-September 2024 period. Singapore-based investors led foreign capital inflows, making up nearly 73 percent, followed by the United States at about 22 percent.

This surge in investments highlights the growing confidence in the real estate sector and its potential for high returns.
