Motilal Oswal Alternates Invests INR 190 Crore in Affordable Housing, Boosting Indian Real Estate Market
Real Estate Pune:Motilal Oswal Alternates (MO Alts), the investment arm of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, has made a strategic move towards the growing affordable housing market in India. The company has committed a total of INR 190 crore to two separate real estate projects focused on middle-income and affordable housing segments.

The investment is divided between Chennai-based Radiance Realty Developers India Ltd (receiving INR 100 crore) and Pune-based Mantra Properties and Developers Pvt. Ltd (receiving INR 90 crore). These early-stage investments will provide crucial capital for the developers to acquire land for their upcoming residential projects.

MO Alts' focus on affordable housing aligns with current market trends. India's expanding middle class and rapid urbanization are driving a strong and consistent demand for affordable housing options in major cities. This investment positions MO Alts to capitalize on this trend across eight key urban centers Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Delhi-National Capital Region, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.

This recent investment is part of a larger plan by MO Alts. The company established the India Realty Excellence Fund VI (IREF VI) with an ambitious target corpus of INR 2,000 crore. This fund specifically focuses on early-stage investments in affordable and middle-income housing projects. MO Alts has already achieved a first close of INR 1,274 crore and is targeting a final close of the entire fund (INR 2,000 crore) by the end of 2024.

India's real estate sector has witnessed a significant recovery since the pandemic. A surge in demand from homebuyers has led to a rise in residential sales. This renewed optimism has emboldened developers to actively seek land parcels for new projects. MO Alts anticipates that land transactions will remain stable as developers expand their land banks in anticipation of continued housing demand, potential moderation in interest rates, and increased support from institutional investors like themselves.
