India’s real estate sector recorded capital inflows of USD 5.1 billion during the January–March quarter, marking a 72% year-on-year increase, according to CBRE. The inflows, the highest ever for any quarter, were driven largely by developers and REITs, with domestic investors accounting for the majority share. Strong activity in office and retail assets, along with sustained investor confidence despite global uncertainties, indicates continued momentum in institutional investment and asset creation across key urban markets.
India’s real estate sector attracted capital inflows of USD 5.1 billion in the January–March period, reflecting a 72% increase compared to the same period last year, according to a report released by CBRE. The inflows also marked a 53% rise over the previous quarter, making it the highest quarterly investment recorded in the sector.
The report highlighted that developers led the investment activity, contributing around 42% of the total inflows. This was closely followed by Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which accounted for approximately 40%, with investments exceeding USD 2 billion. Both segments remained focused on acquiring and developing rent-yielding office and retail assets, indicating sustained demand for income-generating properties.
Domestic investors dominated the investment landscape, accounting for nearly 96% of total inflows during the quarter. The trend reflects strong local confidence in India’s real estate fundamentals, supported by stable economic conditions and ongoing urbanisation.
Key metropolitan markets, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR, collectively attracted around 65% of the total investments, underscoring their continued dominance as preferred destinations for institutional capital.
Industry stakeholders indicated that the growth in capital inflows reflects increasing maturity in the Indian real estate market, particularly with the rising role of REITs in driving institutional participation. The shift towards yield-generating assets, such as office spaces and retail developments, signals a more structured investment approach.
Looking ahead, the report noted that foreign capital is expected to return with clearer deployment strategies, potentially adding further momentum to the sector. Despite global macroeconomic challenges, India’s real estate market continues to attract significant investment, supported by strong demand fundamentals and expanding institutional participation.
