In 2024, PE investments in the residential sector more than doubled to $1,177 million, reflecting growing investor confidence in this segment, which has been experiencing consistent demand from end users. The warehousing sector received $1,877 million, while office properties attracted $1,098 million during the same period.

He explained that the warehousing sector, boosted by the growth of e-commerce and third-party logistics, emerged as the top recipient of investments, followed by the residential sector.

He also mentioned that while the office segment saw a decline, Indian commercial real estate remained resilient, supported by factors such as the return to workplaces, increasing office absorption, and strengthening rental values.
