Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock Group, emphasized, “This strong QIP activity highlights the sector’s crucial role in India’s broader capital markets and the growing confidence of institutional investors in Indian real estate.” The report attributes this surge to several factors, including enhanced transparency, a robust recovery in the residential real estate market post-pandemic, and strong investor confidence.
The QIP route provides publicly-traded companies with a streamlined method to raise capital by offering equities or securities convertible into equity to pre-approved institutional buyers. This approach allows companies to bypass the more conventional initial public offering (IPO) route, enabling them to raise substantial funds quickly.
The post-pandemic period has seen a significant boost in housing sales, prompting leading developers to increase inventory across major markets. According to the report, over 13.62 lakh units have been launched across the top seven cities from 2021 to September 2024. Concurrently, housing sales in these cities have soared to nearly 14.36 lakh units during the same period. This effervescent sales activity has led to a over 10% decline in unsold housing inventory, despite a high rate of supply addition.
To fuel their aggressive expansion plans, developers are increasingly turning to both IPOs and the QIP route. Their success in these capitalization efforts underscores the sector’s ability to attract both retail and institutional investors. Puri added, “We expect investor participation to grow manifold in the coming years.”
The strong demand from homebuyers post-pandemic has also encouraged developers to raise funds through IPOs to fund new project launches across various geographies. Since 2021, six developers have collectively raised Rs 5,275 crore through mainstream IPOs.
