Real Estate Mumbai:The Indian real estate market has witnessed a remarkable surge in deals valued at USD 1.56 billion during the second quarter of 2024, a nearly eight-fold increase from the preceding quarter, according to a report by Grant Thornton Bharat. The report, titled 'Real Estate/REITs Dealtracker', provides insights into the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and private equity (PE) deals in the Indian real estate market.

In the second quarter, the Indian real estate market saw 19 deals worth USD 1.56 billion, a significant jump from the 4 deals valued at USD 200 million in the preceding quarter. This surge in deal activity is primarily driven by four high-value transactions, which accounted for 85 per cent of the total deal value.

The consultant noted that there has been a robust growth trajectory in overall deal activity, primarily driven by substantial increases in domestic transactions and private equity (PE) investments.

The M&A deals during the second quarter were valued at USD 123 million, up from USD 32 million in the preceding quarter. The private equity deals jumped 8.5 times to USD 1,439 million in April-June 2024 from USD 168 million in the preceding quarter.

The report highlighted that four top deals (all from the PE segment) alone accounted for 85 per cent of the total deal value. Brookfield India Real Estate Trust's acquisition of four grade A commercial assets from Bharti Enterprises in Delhi for USD 723 million marked the largest transaction of the quarter.
