The shift in investor focus is evident, with residential real estate receiving significantly higher investments compared to the same period last year. The office sector, however, remains healthy with USD 579 million in PE investments, driven by the ongoing low availability of Grade-A office space.
Market analysts predict a continued increase in deal activity towards the end of the year as investors finalize valuations. If these predictions hold true, it would mark a substantial turnaround from the USD 3.2 billion recorded in 2023.
The report also highlights the growing importance of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) in the Indian real estate market. These funds have raised a substantial amount of capital, with approximately USD 2 billion still available for future investments, indicating a continued flow of funds into the sector.
While the outlook is positive, there are some challenges to consider. Global interest rates remain high, potentially increasing the cost of capital and delaying some investment decisions. However, recent dovish signals from central banks like the US Federal Reserve suggest that capital costs could decrease in 2025. Overall, the Indian real estate market is showing signs of a strong recovery, driven by a shift in investor focus towards residential properties and continued interest from alternative funding sources.
