India Real Estate Equity Inflows Hit Record Eight Point Five bn USD

A report by CBRE said that US dollar (USD) eight point five bn in equity capital was attracted by India’s real estate sector during the first half of 2026, registering a 32 per cent year-on-year increase from USD six point four bn in the corresponding period last year. The report noted that the inflows marked the highest half-yearly equity investment recorded by the sector, driven by sustained investments in land and development sites as well as built-up office assets.

During the second quarter of 2026 equity capital inflows stood at USD three point four bn, remaining broadly unchanged from the year-ago period. Investments in land and development sites together with built-up office assets accounted for nearly 94 per cent of total equity inflows during the quarter. Domestic investors contributed about 92 per cent of total investment inflows in the quarter, while global investors accounted for the remainder.

Developers were the largest contributors, accounting for 34 per cent of total investments, followed by domestic institutional investors with 32 per cent. Capital inflows from institutional investors rose 51 per cent quarter-on-quarter during the period. Among cities Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai together accounted for around 60 per cent of total investment inflows in the quarter.

CBRE also highlighted that more than 88 per cent of investments in land and development sites were directed towards residential and office projects, with the balance channelled into data centres, mixed-use developments and industrial and logistics projects. Investment and development platforms worth nearly USD one point six bn were established in the residential and office segments. CBRE executives said domestic confidence and growing institutional participation underpinned the trend and the firm expects investment activity in India’s real estate sector to remain strong through the rest of 2026.
