The industrial and logistics segment emerged as the leading investment area, capturing 77% of the total PE investment volume with a substantial USD 1.7 billion (INR 144 billion). This significant investment is driven by the increasing demand from e-commerce players and the government's initiatives to establish India as a global manufacturing hub. The combination of these factors has created a favorable environment for robust growth in this segment.
The commercial office segment followed closely, accounting for 21% of the overall PE investments. Notably, all investments in this sector came from foreign investors, who were particularly interested in core assets located in major cities such as Chennai, Mumbai, and the National Capital Region (NCR). These cities are known for their well-developed infrastructure and booming business landscapes, making them attractive locations for office space investments.
Savills India, the consulting firm behind the report, highlighted the positive trends and the underlying factors contributing to the surge in private equity investments. The report suggests that the government's proactive policies and the growing demand from both domestic and international investors are key drivers of this momentum. The firm's experts predict that the trend is likely to continue in the coming quarters, with further investments expected in both the industrial and commercial segments.
In addition to the industrial and commercial sectors, the residential and retail segments are also showing signs of recovery and potential for increased investment. The government's role in housing has shifted from being a provider to a facilitator, creating an enabling environment for private players to enter and thrive in the market. This shift, along with the ongoing urbanization and increasing disposable incomes, is expected to drive further growth in the residential real estate sector.
Overall, the robust performance of the Indian real estate sector in Q3 2024 is a testament to the confidence of investors in the market. The sector's prospects remain positive, with continued government support and evolving market trends expected to attract even more investment in the future.
