NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen to Host 'Excelerate 2026' in Mumbai: Exploring Real Estate Investment Trends
NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen is set to organise Excelerate 2026, a one-day international conclave in Mumbai that will focus on investment flows, financing structures, and emerging capital sources in India's real estate sector. The event is scheduled to take place in the coming days at a hotel in the city and is expected to bring together developers, investors, policymakers, and financial institutions.
The conclave is being positioned as a platform to examine the evolving investment landscape in Indian real estate, particularly at a time when the sector has seen increased participation from institutional and global investors. Industry data indicates that institutional investments in real estate have more than doubled over the past four years, with foreign capital now accounting for over half of total inflows into the sector.
Public capital markets have also contributed to funding activity, with real estate companies raising more than INR 26,000 crore over a 12-month period ending in the past year. In addition, Alternative Investment Funds have played a growing role, with the sector accounting for approximately 15% of cumulative net investments, amounting to INR 73,903 crore in FY2025. The emergence of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) has further diversified funding sources available to developers and asset owners.
The event will include addresses by senior representatives of NAREDCO Maharashtra and industry leaders, highlighting the role of policy reforms and market evolution in shaping investment trends. Over the past decade, regulatory measures such as the introduction of RERA, changes in taxation frameworks, and monetary policy support have contributed to improved transparency and investor confidence in the sector.
A series of panel discussions will examine specific areas within the real estate financing ecosystem. These include the growing role of family offices as capital providers, trends in private equity investments, and the emergence of new asset classes such as branded residences. Additional sessions will address sustainability-linked financing, as well as the role of REITs and InvITs in mobilising both institutional and retail capital.
The conclave is expected to host more than 1,000 participants from domestic and international markets, reflecting increasing interest in India's real estate sector as an investment destination. It will also include networking sessions aimed at facilitating partnerships between developers, investors, and financial institutions.
Industry stakeholders have indicated that platforms focused on capital and financing are gaining importance as the sector transitions towards more structured funding mechanisms. With continued urbanisation, economic growth, and policy support, real estate is increasingly being viewed as a long-term investment class, requiring deeper engagement between capital providers and developers.
The event reflects a broader shift in the industry, where access to diversified funding sources and evolving financial instruments is playing a central role in shaping project development and market expansion across India.
