According to a report by JLL, the real estate sector has already received 81 per cent of the total investment in 2023 during the first six months of 2024, despite global uncertainties and the election season. The report highlights the resilience of India's economy and its ability to attract substantial institutional investments.
The residential sector has achieved an all-time high half-year investment of USD 1.6 billion, attributed to regulatory reforms and improved transparency in the segment over the last 5-7 years. The majority of investments in this sector were structured debt, with 68 per cent of the deals being debt-based.
The office sector, which was historically the favored investment asset class among institutional investors, saw a decline in investments in the first half of 2024 compared to the previous year. However, the warehousing sector led the way with a 34 per cent share of investments, followed closely by residential at 33 per cent share.
