Revival in Indian Real Estate: Q2 Deals Soar to $1.56 Billion, Marking 8-Fold Rise
Real Estate Mumbai:The Indian real estate market has shown a remarkable turnaround in the second quarter of 2024, with deals worth $1.56 billion being closed. This represents an eight-fold increase from the preceding quarter, according to a report by Grant Thornton. The consulting firm's report, Real Estate/REITs Dealtracker, highlighted that the market witnessed 19 deals during the April-June period, driven primarily by four high-value transactions. Shabala Shinde, Partner and Real Estate Leader at Grant Thornton Bharat, attributed this surge to economic recovery, increased investor confidence, and supportive government policies.

The report noted that there has been a robust growth trajectory in overall deal activity, primarily driven by substantial increases in domestic transactions and private equity (PE) investments. The M&A deals during the second quarter were valued at $123 million, as against $32 million in the preceding quarter. Moreover, the private equity deals jumped 8.5 times to $1,439 million in April-June 2024 from $168 million in the preceding quarter.

Four top deals, all from the PE segment, alone accounted for 85 per cent of the total deal value. Brookfield India Real Estate Trust's acquisition of four grade A commercial assets from Bharti Enterprises in Delhi for $723 million marked the largest transaction of the quarter. In the residential development segment, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kotak Alternative Investment Fund invested $240 million in Prestige Estates Projects, and Indiabulls Constructions acquired Sky Forest Projects from Blackstone for $78 million.

Knight Frank India's report, Trends in Private Equity Investment in India H1 2024, stated that PE investments totalling $3 billion have been made in Indian real estate in the first half of 2024, recording an increase of 15% year-over-year from $2.6 billion in H1 2023. The warehousing sector accounted for the largest share of 52% of total PE investments in January-June 2024, followed by residential (29%) and office (20%).
