The report, titled 'Real Estate/REITs Dealtracker-Providing M&A and PE deal insights', highlights the 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 $123 million, as against $32 million in the preceding quarter. Moreover, private equity deals jumped 8.5 times to $1,439 million in April-June 2024 from $168 million in the preceding quarter.
The report attributes this surge to four high-value transactions, which accounted for 85% of the total deal value. One of the largest transactions of the quarter was Brookfield India Real Estate Trust's acquisition of four grade A commercial assets from Bharti Enterprises in Delhi for $723 million. Other notable deals include Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kotak Alternative Investment Fund's investment of $240 million in Prestige Estates Projects, and Indiabulls Constructions' acquisition of Sky Forest Projects from Blackstone for $78 million.
