Indian Real Estate Market Witnesses Surge in Deals Worth USD 1.56 Billion in Q2 2024
Real Estate Mumbai:The Indian real estate market has witnessed a significant surge in deals worth USD 1.56 billion during the April-June quarter of 2024, according to a report by Grant Thornton. This marks a nearly eight-fold increase from the preceding quarter, which saw deals worth only USD 200 million. The report, titled 'Real Estate/REITs Dealtracker-Providing M&A and PE deal insights', highlights that the Indian real estate market witnessed 19 deals valued at USD 1.56 billion during the second quarter of this calendar year.

The surge in deals is attributed to four high-value transactions, which reflect the economic recovery, increased investor confidence, and supportive government policies. According to Shabala Shinde, Partner and Real Estate Leader at Grant Thornton Bharat, the Indian real estate market has shown robust activity in Q2 2024, with 19 deals totalling USD 1.6 billion. This marks a promising period for deal-making.

The report notes 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. M&A deals during the second quarter were valued at USD 123 million, as against USD 32 million in the preceding quarter. 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 highlights 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. In the residential development segment, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kotak Alternative Investment Fund invested USD 240 million in Prestige Estates Projects, and Indiabulls Constructions acquired Sky Forest Projects from Blackstone for USD 78 million.

In other news, DLF plans to expand its housing and commercial property business, with plans to enter the Mumbai and Goa markets. This move is likely to further boost the real estate sector.
