Credai, which boasts over 13,000 members, is currently organizing its annual event, 'Credai Natcon,' in Singapore. The report emphasizes the notable growth in institutional investments in the Indian real estate sector, driven by a diverse range of investors including family offices, foreign corporate groups, foreign banks, proprietary books, pension funds, private equity, real estate fund-cum-developers, foreign-funded NBFCs, listed REITs, and sovereign wealth funds.
The report also notes that the share of domestic capital has increased significantly since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Credai President Shekhar Patel expressed optimism about the future of the sector, stating, “By 2047, Indian real estate will not just be measured in square feet or asset values—it will be defined by the quality of life we create for millions of citizens.” He added, “The sector is uniquely positioned to reimagine India’s urban future: designing climate-resilient cities, building affordable yet aspirational homes, and nurturing ecosystems that foster innovation and inclusivity.”
Colliers India CEO Badal Yagnik echoed this sentiment, highlighting the sector's potential for sustained growth. “Fuelled by supportive policies, envisaged demand traction, and rising developer and investor interest, Indian real estate is poised for decades of growth acceleration across most asset classes,” he said. The report projects that the Indian real estate market could reach a staggering $5-10 trillion by 2047.
Yagnik further elaborated on the growth potential of specific asset classes, noting that both Grade A office and industrial stock in India are expected to surpass the 2 billion sq ft mark by 2047. This projection underscores the sector's resilience and the confidence of investors in its long-term prospects.
The Indian real estate sector has shown remarkable adaptability and growth, driven by a combination of supportive government policies, increasing urbanization, and a growing middle class. The continued influx of institutional investments is expected to further bolster the sector's development, creating a promising future for both investors and residents alike.
