Indian Realty Grows 22% in 2024, Reaching $6.5 Billion in Investments

The Indian real estate sector witnessed a significant 22% increase in institutional investments in 2024, totaling $6.5 billion, according to a report by CBRE. This surge in capital inflows is primarily attributed to robust demand in the industrial and warehousing segments, driven by the rapid expansion of the e-commerce and logistics industries.

Foreign investors played a pivotal role, contributing 66% of the total institutional investments. Countries like Singapore, the United States, and Canada were the leading sources of foreign capital, highlighting India’s continued appeal as a key global investment destination. This foreign interest is further supported by favorable economic conditions and policy reforms, including the implementation of RERA and GST, which have enhanced transparency and investor confidence.

Infrastructure development and government initiatives such as the “Make in India” program have also been instrumental in driving this growth. These efforts have created a conducive environment for industrial expansion, attracting both foreign and domestic investors.

The industrial and logistics sectors emerged as major beneficiaries of this investment surge, accounting for a substantial share of the inflows. Experts predict that this momentum will continue into 2025, fueled by ongoing infrastructure projects and increasing demand for high-quality industrial assets, especially in the NCR.

Gaurav Kumar, Managing Director of Capital Markets and Land at CBRE India, noted, “The Indian real estate market is poised for sustained growth, with significant capital deployment expected in industrial, logistics, and residential segments. The market’s resilience and adaptability continue to attract both institutional investors and developers.”

With a strong investment pipeline and supportive government policies, India’s real estate sector is well-positioned for continued expansion in the coming years.
