Commercial office assets have maintained their dominance, capturing roughly 51% (USD 867 million) of the total investment volume. However, the residential sector is showing strong growth, with residential investments now accounting for nearly 47% (USD 803 million) of PE inflows. This growth can be attributed to both sustained demand for homes and a steady pipeline of new residential projects funded by institutional investors.
The report also highlights a significant rise in investor confidence from Asia, with a notable 78% (USD 1.33 billion) of the PE investment volume in Q2 2024 originating from Asian investors. This influx is primarily focused on office and residential properties in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, two major Indian cities.
Arvind Nandan, Managing Director of Research & Consulting at Savills India, attributes the positive impact of India's strong macroeconomic scenario on private equity investment activity in real estate. He notes that commercial office assets lead the sector due to strong leasing activity in high-quality buildings exceeding 50,000 sq ft. Additionally, the residential sector is experiencing significant growth, reflecting investor confidence in sustained demand. Nandan also points out that investors from the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) contributed over 70% of investments in the first half of 2024, demonstrating their growing interest in the Indian real estate market.
This trend suggests a positive outlook for the Indian real estate market, with both commercial and residential sectors attracting significant investment. The rise of Asian investor interest, particularly focused on Bengaluru and Hyderabad, adds another layer of confidence to the market's continued growth.
