In the third quarter of 2024 alone, PE inflows amounted to USD 2.2 billion (INR 186 billion), demonstrating a steady and consistent interest in real estate investments. The report highlights that over the years, PE inflows have fluctuated. In 2019, the inflows were USD 6.7 billion, and in 2020, they were USD 6.6 billion. However, in 2021 and 2022, the inflows dropped to USD 3.4 billion before rebounding to USD 3.9 billion in 2023.
One of the standout segments in the July-September 2024 quarter was the industrial and logistics sectors, which attracted USD 1.7 billion (INR 144 billion), accounting for 77% of the total investment. This trend underscores the growing importance of e-commerce and efficient supply chains, reflecting the evolving consumer needs and preferences.
Following the industrial segment, the commercial office sector captured 21% of the total PE investments. Notably, all investments in this sector came from foreign investors, who are particularly interested in key assets in major cities such as Chennai, Mumbai, and the National Capital Region (NCR). These areas are highly attractive due to their strong growth potential and ongoing infrastructure development.
Despite the global economic challenges, India's real estate market continues to attract substantial investments. This is a testament to the robust economic potential of the country.
