26 Jun 2026 CW Team

India’s institutional real estate investment rose 23 per cent year-on-year to USD 4.3 billion in H1 2026, according to JLL. The market recorded 54 transactions during the period, the highest half-year deal count reported, reflecting sustained institutional confidence despite global economic uncertainty, currency volatility and inflationary pressures.

Domestic institutional capital accounted for 64 per cent of total institutional capital flows, marking its highest share on record. Domestic investors contributed USD 2.8 billion in H1 2026, a 165 per cent year-on-year increase, offsetting a 37 per cent decline in foreign institutional investment. JLL said this indicates a structural shift towards stronger domestic participation in India’s real estate investment market.

Average deal sizes declined 40 per cent from USD 133 million in H1 2025 to USD 80 million in H1 2026. The trend suggests that investors preferred smaller and more diversified transactions to manage risk while maintaining exposure to the sector.

The office sector regained its leading position with a 54 per cent share of total institutional capital. Office investments reached USD 2.3 billion across 17 transactions, supported by demand from Global Capability Centres, return-to-office trends and stable rental yields. Domestic capital accounted for 89 per cent of total office investment during the period.

Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi-NCR remained key investment hubs, together accounting for 46 per cent of institutional capital flows. Bengaluru and Chennai together captured 34 per cent of total investment, supported by large acquisitions. JLL said total institutional flows could reach USD 8.5-9 billion by the end of 2026 if market conditions support second-half momentum.
