Domestic investments surged by 27 per cent in 2024, contributing to one-third of the total inflows. Notably, in the fourth quarter, domestic investors accounted for 43 per cent of the $ 1.9 bn inflows, which were 2.3 times higher than the same quarter in 2023.

“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.”

With both domestic and international investors showing increased confidence, Indian real estate is poised for continued growth in 2025.
