India’s real estate market hit a historic milestone in 2024, attracting a staggering USD 11.4 billion in equity investments—a 54 percent surge compared to the previous year. Foreign investors played a significant role, with Singapore leading the charge, accounting for 36 percent of foreign equity inflows. Close behind were the United States and Canada, contributing 29 percent and 22 percent, respectively. Even the UAE made a stronger play, showing a marked increase in investments compared to 2023. Yet, domestic investors remained the bedrock, driving 70 percent of the total equity inflows. Developers were the largest recipients, cornering 44 percent of the equity pie, while institutional players secured 36 percent. Corporations, REITs, and other segments rounded out the rest, reflecting a diverse ecosystem of capital flows. Looking ahead to 2025, the momentum seems unstoppable. CBRE’s Anshuman Magazine predicts a robust pipeline for office assets and residential sites, fueled by the e-commerce and quick-commerce booms. These industries are driving demand for high-quality logistics and warehousing infrastructure, creating fresh opportunities for investors and developers alike. India’s metro and tier-I cities are expected to remain the epicenters of this activity, but tier-II cities are emerging as promising alternatives. With rising real estate development, these smaller hubs are seeing healthy demand across residential, mixed-use, retail, and hospitality sectors.
