The report highlights the notable growth in institutional investments in the Indian real estate sector. Over the last 15 years, the sector has attracted nearly $80 billion, with a substantial portion coming from foreign capital. Institutional inflows include investments from family offices, foreign corporate groups, foreign banks, proprietary books, pension funds, private equity, real estate fund-cum-developers, foreign-funded NBFCs, listed REITs, and sovereign wealth funds.
CREDAI President Shekhar Patel emphasized the transformative potential of the sector. “By 2047, Indian real estate will not just be measured in square feet or asset values – it will be defined by the quality of life we create for millions of citizens. The sector is uniquely positioned to reimagine India’s urban future: designing climate-resilient cities, building affordable yet aspirational homes, and nurturing ecosystems that foster innovation and inclusivity,” Patel said. He added that CREDAI would intensify efforts to transform the sector in line with these goals.
Colliers India CEO Badal Yagnik highlighted the sector’s growth potential, noting that supportive policies, rising demand, and increased interest from developers and investors are driving the market. “Fuelled by supportive policies, envisaged demand traction, and rising developer as well as investor interest, Indian real estate is poised for decades of growth acceleration across most asset classes,” Yagnik said. He pointed out that both Grade A office and industrial stock in India are expected to surpass the 2 billion sq ft mark by 2047.
Residential sales are also expected to double, reaching 1 million units annually. Yagnik added that the expansion of data centers, senior living facilities, retail malls, and hotels underscores the demographically diverse demand patterns driving the market. “Overall, the Indian real estate sector is set to remain a vital catalyst for inclusive urbanization and sustainable community development as the nation advances toward global economic leadership,” Yagnik concluded.
The report projects that the size of India’s real estate market could reach between $5 trillion and $10 trillion by 2047, making it a significant contributor to the country’s economic growth and development.
