India’s real estate sector has attracted nearly $80 billion in institutional investments over the past 15 years, with foreign investors contributing 57 per cent, according to a joint report by CREDAI and Colliers India.

The report, Indian Real Estate: Fostering Equity and Fuelling Economic Growth, was released during CREDAI’s annual event, NATCON. CREDAI, the apex body representing more than 13,000 developers, highlighted the significant growth in institutional inflows, which include family offices, foreign corporate groups, foreign banks, pension funds, private equity, listed REITs, sovereign wealth funds, and other foreign-funded entities.

The report noted that domestic capital has also grown steadily, particularly following the Covid pandemic. Looking ahead, the Indian real estate market is projected to reach $5-10 trillion by 2047.

CREDAI President Shekhar Patel stated, “By 2047, Indian real estate will not just be measured in square feet or asset values—it will be defined by the quality of life we create for millions of citizens. The sector is uniquely positioned to reimagine India’s urban future through climate-resilient cities, affordable and aspirational homes, and ecosystems that foster innovation and inclusivity.”

Colliers India CEO Badal Yagnik added, “Supported by favourable policies, strong demand, and rising interest from developers and investors, Indian real estate is poised for decades of growth across most asset classes. Grade A office and industrial stock is expected to exceed 2 billion sq ft by 2047, while residential sales could reach 1 million units annually.”

He also highlighted the increasing demand in data centres, senior living facilities, retail malls, and hotels, reflecting India’s diverse demographic needs.

“Overall, the Indian real estate sector will remain a vital catalyst for inclusive urbanisation and sustainable community development as India advances towards global economic leadership,” Yagnik said.
