India Ranks 7th Globally for Land and Development Investment

India has secured the seventh spot globally as a top destination for land and development investments, according to a recent report by Colliers, reflecting its growing stature in the international real estate landscape. The ranking highlights India’s appeal amid strong economic fundamentals, progressive policy support, and a maturing real estate ecosystem.

Institutional real estate investments reached a robust $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 31 per cent year-on-year rise. Foreign investors accounted for nearly 40 per cent of this total, signalling sustained global confidence in India’s property sector.

Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India, noted that land and development assets are increasingly drawing attention due to an expanding range of investment opportunities and an improving regulatory environment. India’s steady infrastructure expansion and investor-friendly reforms have bolstered its position as a key hub in the Asia-Pacific region.

While countries such as Japan and Australia continue to lead in investments for standing assets, India’s niche lies in the land and development category. The report also highlighted growing foreign capital interest in the residential sector and newer segments like life sciences and data centres — a sign of broader investor appetite and a shift towards portfolio diversification.

Vimal Nadar, National Director and Head of Research at Colliers India, remarked that this trend indicates a maturing market landscape. He also pointed out that recent repo rate cuts, bringing the benchmark lending rate down to 5.5 per cent — the lowest in three years — have further fuelled investor sentiment.

Commercial, industrial, and warehousing sectors are also poised for expansion, supported by strong demand fundamentals, ample supply pipelines, and evolving investment structures. With foreign participation deepening across segments, India’s real estate sector is well-positioned for a phase of sustained capital inflow and strategic growth.
