“Private equity investments in Indian real estate have shown strong momentum in 2024, driven by robust domestic growth and sustained investor confidence," said Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India. "Tier-I cities will remain attractive in 2025, supported by infrastructure development and the 'Make in India' initiative. Domestic players are also expected to increase their focus on office, residential, and industrial assets.”

The government’s emphasis on manufacturing and industrial growth, reflected in key indicators like the Manufacturing PMI and IIP, played a pivotal role in boosting investment in the industrial and warehousing segment. With both domestic and international investors showing increased confidence, Indian real estate is poised for continued growth in 2025.
