The first half of 2024 witnessed investment inflows of $3 billion, up 15% from a year ago, according to data from real estate consultancy Knight Frank India. Local private equity investors have also shown notable engagement, with their participation reaching levels not seen in the past decade.
Mumbai dominated in attracting private equity investments, with inflows rising to $1.7 billion from $1.2 billion a year ago. Around 88% of the investment was made into warehousing assets, the data showed. The warehousing sector accounted for the largest share of 52% of total private equity investments in the January-June period, followed by the residential segment at 29% and office assets at 20%.
Investments in the housing sector more than tripled to $854 million during the period, while in warehousing, the inflows rose 176% to $1.53 billion, led by Mumbai and Chennai. Strong demand for warehousing due to growing manufacturing activities and consumption, coupled with supportive government policies, is making it a compelling proposition for investors.
In the residential segment, investors are adopting a more diversified approach, unlike a year ago when investments were mainly directed toward under-construction projects. A significant portion of investments went into early-stage positions, reflecting the growing confidence in the sector's future potential.
