During the first nine months of 2025 (January-September), total equity investments reached Rs. 90,484 crore (US$ 10.2 billion), up 14% YoY from Rs. 78,952 crore (US$ 8.9 billion). This reflects sustained investor confidence and sectoral growth. Land and development sites, together with built-up office and retail properties, accounted for more than 90% of Q3 inflows, highlighting a strong appetite for both greenfield projects and income-generating assets.
CBRE expects greenfield developments across residential, office, mixed-use, data centres, and industrial & logistics sectors to maintain momentum in the coming quarters. Mumbai led the investment activity, capturing 32% of total inflows, followed by Pune (18%) and Bengaluru (16%). Developers contributed 45% of equity inflows, while institutional investors accounted for 33%, indicating a balanced ecosystem combining private and global capital.
CBRE noted that the limited availability of core office assets could encourage opportunistic investments, while built-up office and retail properties are likely to dominate through Q4 2025. The sector’s diversification, coupled with India’s ability to attract both domestic and international capital, is expected to remain a key differentiator, underpinning continued growth in 2026 and beyond.
The Indian real estate sector has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability, driven by favorable government policies, growing urbanization, and a robust economy. The sector’s ability to attract significant investments underscores its potential and the confidence of investors in the market’s future prospects.
