The report, titled 'Indian Real Estate: Fostering Equity and Fuelling Economic Growth,' highlights the notable growth in institutional investments in the sector. Over the past 15 years, investment inflows have reached nearly USD 80 billion, with foreign players contributing 57% of the total capital. CREDAI and Colliers noted that the share of domestic capital has also grown significantly after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The institutional flow of funds includes investments from various sources such as 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. The report projects that the size of the Indian real estate market could reach USD 5-10 trillion by 2047.
CREDAI President Shekhar Patel emphasized the sector's potential to redefine urban life in India. '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,' he said. '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 added that CREDAI will take proactive efforts to transform the sector. Colliers India CEO Badal Yagnik highlighted the growth potential of various asset classes in the Indian real estate market. 'Fuelled by supportive policies, envisaged demand traction, and rising developer and investor interest, Indian real estate is poised for decades of growth acceleration across most asset classes,' he said.
Yagnik projected that both Grade A office and industrial stock in the country are expected to surpass the 2 billion sq ft-mark by 2047. Residential sales could double up to 1 million units annually. Additionally, the ongoing growth in data centers, senior living facilities, retail malls, and hotels reflects demand driven by demographically diverse needs.
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.
