Equity investments in India’s real estate sector surged by 48 per cent to USD 3.8 billion during July–September 2025, as developers and investors channelled funds primarily into land acquisitions and project construction, according to property consultancy CBRE. In its latest report, Market Monitor Q3 2025 Investments, released on Friday, CBRE stated that total equity inflows rose sharply from USD 2.6 billion recorded in the same quarter last year. The latest surge was mainly driven by capital deployment into land and development sites, as well as built-up office and retail assets. For the first nine months of 2025, equity investments increased by 14 per cent year-on-year to USD 10.2 billion, up from USD 8.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2024. During the entire 2024 calendar year, total equity inflows into Indian real estate amounted to USD 11.4 billion. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO – India, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE, said the steady rise in domestic capital inflow highlights the sector’s resilience and maturity. “India’s real estate sector is entering a phase of accelerated growth, driven by continued investor confidence. Over the coming quarters, greenfield developments are expected to maintain strong momentum, spanning residential, office, mixed-use, data centre, and industrial and logistics segments,” Magazine said. Gaurav Kumar, Managing Director – Capital Markets and Land, CBRE India, added that the investment environment is becoming increasingly diversified, with funds directed toward both built-up and under-development assets. “In addition to global institutional investors, Indian sponsors have accounted for a significant portion of total inflows. India’s ability to blend robust domestic capital with international participation will remain a defining strength in 2026 and beyond,” Kumar noted. CBRE expects the positive trajectory to continue, supported by macroeconomic stability, policy reforms, and the ongoing demand for high-quality real estate across key Indian cities.
