Private equity investment in Indian real estate falls 4%

Private equity investments in the Indian real estate sector decreased by 4% to $2.3 billion in the first half of the fiscal year, primarily due to a decline in funding for office assets, according to Anarock.

The consulting firm reported that the number of deals dropped to 17 during April-September, down from 24 in the same period last year. Shobhit Agarwal, MD & CEO of Anarock Capital, noted that foreign investors, who primarily drive office investments, have pulled back due to global issues such as geopolitical tensions and rising interest rates.

Despite the decline, the overall dominance of foreign investors in the Indian real estate market remains stable, bolstered by significant investments like the ADIA/KKR partnership in Reliance Retail's warehousing assets.

Historical data shows a fluctuating trend in private equity investments: $1.2 billion in H1 2020-21, $2 billion in H1 2021-22, $2.8 billion in H1 2022-23, $2.4 billion in April-September 2023-24, and now $2.3 billion in H1 2024-25.

Interestingly, the average deal size has increased by 23% year-on-year, largely driven by the Reliance-ADIA/KKR warehousing deal, which accounted for 67% of total investments in the first half of FY25.

Foreign investors comprised 87% of the total private equity investments during this period. The industrial and logistics sectors attracted 67% of total investments, significantly outperforming both the office and residential sectors, which each garnered 17%. While office sector investments plummeted by 79%, the industrial and logistics sectors saw a remarkable 378% increase compared to the previous financial year.
