The residential sector also saw a surge, drawing USD 854 million, up 209% from USD 277 million in the same period last year. Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi-NCR were among the leading cities for residential investments.
The office sector, meanwhile, garnered USD 579 million, constituting 20% of total PE investments. Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and the NCR emerged as the top cities for office investments.
The report highlights a shift in investor preferences, with warehousing surpassing traditional sectors like office and retail in popularity. This trend is driven by the growth of e-commerce and a shift towards optimized supply chains.
Currently, domestic investors hold approximately USD 2 billion in undeployed capital, positioning the market for further growth as global economic conditions improve. Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have also emerged as significant players in the Indian real estate sector, raising around USD 5.3 billion out of a targeted USD 8.2 billion since January 2021.
Looking ahead, the Indian real estate market is expected to continue its upward trajectory, driven by factors such as the expanding e-commerce industry and supportive government policies, particularly in the warehousing sector. The residential market, buoyed by rapid urbanization and a growing population, is also poised for sustained growth.
Despite a temporary slowdown in the office sector, demand for Grade A office spaces remains robust, especially in prime locations catering to Global Capability Centres. With a substantial pipeline of both undeployed capital and real estate assets, private equity investments in real estate are expected to remain robust in the foreseeable future.
