Investment activity shows a remarkable 46% year-on-year growth, driven by major cities and diverse sectors.

The first nine months of 2024 saw total equity investment touch $8.9 billion for the sector of real estate in India, suggesting a pretty strong rise of 46% compared to the same period of the previous year. This is the highest level since 2018, when investment reached the $7.4 billion touched in all of 2023, according to CBRE's India Market Monitor Q3 2024-Investments.

Equity investments stood at $2.6 billion for the July-September quarter in 2024. And, what was most striking was that domestic investors, most of whom were real estate developers, accounted for 79% of the inflows. What was amazing was that over 66% of the total investments came in from Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai alone.

Land and development sites were the staple investments, taking up 45 percent of equity investments. The office sector was second at 24 percent, while the retail sector was gaining at 22 percent. In land acquisitions, residential projects comprised about 56% of the capital raised.

With continuous capital inflow, both traditional and emerging sectors await acceptance, with institutional and collective vehicle investors leading the overall investment activity in fast-paced India real estate markets.
