Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock Group, commented, “This strong QIP activity highlights the sector’s crucial role in India’s broader capital markets and the institutional investors’ growing confidence in Indian real estate. Enhanced transparency, a robust post-pandemic residential real estate recovery, and strong investor confidence are driving this surge in activity, positioning the sector for continued growth.”
The QIP route allows publicly-traded companies to raise capital by offering equities or securities convertible into equity to pre-approved institutional buyers. This method enables companies to bypass the more traditional initial public offering (IPO) route and quickly raise substantial funds.
The post-pandemic period has seen a significant boost in housing sales growth, prompting leading developers to release more inventory across various markets. According to the report, over 13.62 lakh units have been launched across the top seven cities from 2021 to this year (January-September). Concurrently, housing sales in these cities have surged to nearly 14.36 lakh units in the same period. This effervescent sales activity has led to a more than 10% decline in unsold housing inventory, despite the high rate of new supply additions.
To fuel their aggressive expansion, developers are increasingly turning to IPOs and QIPs. Their success in these capitalization efforts underlines the sector’s continued ability to attract both retail and institutional investors. Puri added, “We expect investor participation to grow manifold in the coming years.”
The strong post-pandemic demand from homebuyers has also encouraged developers to raise funds through IPOs to finance new project launches across different regions. Since 2021, six developers have collectively raised Rs 5,275 crore through mainstream IPOs.
