Motilal Oswal Alternates Invests Heavily in Indian Real Estate with New ₹2,000 Crore Fund
Real Estate:With the demand outlook for middle-income and affordable houses expected to stay strong, Motilal Oswal Alternates (MO Alts), the alternative investment arm of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, has closed the first two transactions from its new real estate fund with cumulative investments of ₹190 crore. The company has committed ₹100 crore to Chennai-based Radiance Realty Developers India Ltd, and another ₹90 crore to Pune-based Mantra Properties and Developers Pvt. Ltd, for their respective residential projects. Both the investments are early-stage bets by MO Alts, where the developers aim to utilise the capital to acquire land, on which they intend to develop residential projects.

MO Alts had announced that it will raise ₹2,000 crore via its sixth real estate fund, India Realty Excellence Fund VI (IREF VI), which is strategically focused on early-stage investments in predominantly middle-income and affordable residential projects across the top eight cities in India. The fund has achieved its first close at ₹1,274 crore and has received additional commitments of ₹300 crore. MO Alts is targeting to achieve the final close of ₹2,000 crore in 2024.

The real estate sector has seen a sharp turnaround in the aftermath of the pandemic. With the revival in demand from home buyers fuelling a rise in residential sales, developers have also been emboldened to shop for land parcels. MO Alts plans to continue funding developers to acquire land for residential projects, with a focus on middle-income and affordable housing.

The company has also signed term sheets for five other transactions, to invest around ₹600 crore, which are currently under various stages of due diligence.
