Motilal Oswal Alternates Raises Rs.2,000 Crore in Real Estate Fund
Motilal Oswal Alternates (MO Alternates) has announced the closure of its sixth real estate fund, Indian Realty Excellence Fund VI (IREF-VI). The fund has raised commitments of Rs.2,000 crore, a sharp 65% jump over its previous fund.
Saurabh Rathi, Managing Director & Co-Head (Real Estate) at MO Alternates, stated, “Credit demand for land acquisition in India is accelerating rapidly, driven by a renewed appetite for residential development, rising land values, and limited availability of structured capital. With continued tightening of regulatory norms for traditional lenders, alternative credit platforms are increasingly stepping in to bridge the funding gap with tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of developers.”
Vishal Tulsyan, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, MO Alternates, added, “We’re seeing strong tailwinds in demand for land and mid-income housing. Alternative platforms are now central to developer funding.”
With the successful closure of IREF-VI, MO Alternates’ AUM in real estate now exceeds Rs.10,000 crore across six real estate funds and co-investments. This significant milestone underscores the growing importance of alternative credit platforms in the Indian real estate sector, particularly in addressing the funding needs of developers and supporting the growth of residential and mid-income housing projects.
The fund's success highlights the increasing confidence of investors in the real estate sector, driven by robust demand, favorable government policies, and the need for structured capital solutions. MO Alternates continues to play a pivotal role in this ecosystem, providing innovative financial solutions that help developers navigate the complex regulatory landscape and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
As the real estate market in India continues to evolve, the role of alternative credit platforms like MO Alternates is expected to become even more critical. By offering tailored financial solutions, these platforms are not only helping developers acquire land and develop projects but also contributing to the overall growth and stability of the real estate sector.
