Anarock’s data reveals that Indian real estate developers have been aggressively tapping into capital markets through both Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and QIPs since the pandemic. QIPs allow publicly-traded companies to raise capital by offering equities or securities convertible into equity to pre-approved institutional buyers, providing a faster and more efficient way to raise substantial funds compared to traditional IPO routes.
Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock, highlighted the significant contribution of the real estate sector to QIP issuances. “By the third quarter of 2024, the real estate sector accounted for over 17 per cent of the total QIP issuances across all sectors, amounting to Rs 12,801 crore out of a total of Rs 75,923 crore,” he said. “This places real estate second only to renewable energy in terms of sectors raising funds through QIPs this year.”
The strong QIP activity underscores the sector's pivotal role in India’s broader capital markets and the growing confidence of institutional investors in Indian real estate. Major players leading this fundraising include Prestige Estates Projects Ltd, which raised Rs 5,000 crore, Macrotech Developers with Rs 3,281 crore, and Brigade Enterprises with Rs 1,500 crore. D B Realty raised Rs 920 crore, while Keystone Realtors Limited and Max Estates each raised Rs 800 crore. Anant Raj Ltd also secured Rs 500 crore through the QIP route.
This capital infusion is expected to bolster the real estate sector's growth, enabling developers to undertake new projects, expand existing ones, and enhance their market presence. The trend indicates a positive outlook for the sector, with investor confidence likely to remain strong in the coming years.
