Foreign investors contribute the majority of these investments, accounting for 68% of the total, while domestic players infused 32% during the first half of 2025. The challenging international economic conditions and political uncertainties have led to extended timelines for investment transactions, according to JLL.
Despite these challenges, institutional investors continue to participate through public market channels, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Qualified Institutional Placement (QIPs), and investments in listed entities. Lata Pillai, Senior Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets, India, JLL, stated, 'India's real estate sector remains a compelling investment destination, buoyed by both domestic and international confidence despite global economic uncertainties having presented short-term challenges in the first half of 2025.'
A robust pipeline of deals exceeding USD 1 billion points to sustained activity ahead. Pillai added, 'The real estate market has consistently demonstrated its staying power with annual investments surpassing the USD 5 billion threshold across the previous five years, and we anticipate that capital flows for calendar year 2025 will align with these established benchmarks.'
The housing segment received the largest share of the total institutional investments, accounting for 38%. This indicates a continued interest in the residential real estate market, which is a critical component of the Indian economy.
