Interestingly, nearly three-fourths of all the private equity that went into Indian real estate came from foreign investors. The national capital region (NCR), around New Delhi, and the IT capital, Bengaluru, attracted 23% of all investments. Investments in Bengaluru more than trebled to $612 million year-on-year, making it a significant contributor to the sector.
The bulk of the nationwide investments, about $1.7 billion, went into warehousing. That's over four times the money invested in the same time a year earlier. Between January and June 2024, warehousing emerged as a dominant force, accounting for half of all private equity investments in Indian real estate.
The growth in warehousing can be attributed to the significant spurt in e-commerce and retail consumption in India. Various asset-level investors are likely to enter the market, boosting the demand for AI-enabled warehouses and micro-fulfilment centers in the upcoming quarters, according to Colliers.
The trend is likely to continue in the coming quarters, with Bengaluru emerging as a key destination for foreign investors looking to tap into the Indian real estate market. The city's strong IT sector and growing demand for warehouse spaces are likely to drive investments in the sector.
