Institutional investments encompass a wide range of sources, including family offices, foreign corporate groups, foreign banks, proprietary books, pension funds, private equity, real estate fund-cum-developers, foreign-funded non-banking financial companies, listed real estate investment trusts (REITs), and sovereign wealth funds.

The study projects that the Indian real estate market could reach US$ 5-10 trillion by 2047.
CREDAI President Mr. Shekhar Patel emphasized that by 2047, real estate will not only be measured in square feet or asset values but by the quality of life created for citizens. This includes a focus on climate-resilient cities, affordable yet aspirational homes, and innovation-driven urban ecosystems. Chief Executive Officer of Colliers India, Mr. Badal Yagnik, noted that supportive policies, strong demand, and rising investor interest will propel decades of growth across most asset classes.
Grade A office and industrial stock is expected to exceed two billion square feet by 2047, while residential sales could double to one million units annually. Demand is also growing in data centers, senior living facilities, retail malls, and hotels, reflecting India’s diverse demographic needs. Overall, the report underlines the sector’s role as a key driver of inclusive urbanisation and sustainable community development, positioning India for global economic leadership.
