The steps initiated by the government to increase liquidity in the market have also worked well in increasing the confidence of investors.”
Gaurav Kumar and Nikhil Bhatia, Managing Director and Co-Heads, Capital Markets, India, CBRE South Asia, further add, “India has emerged as a strong regional hub for institutional investors looking for opportunities in office, retail, warehousing and hospitality. This is underlined by significant foreign capital being deployed at land stage. We expect India to be better placed in the region on a relative basis due to the robust handling of the COVID-19 situation by the government.”
