Real Estate Capital Raises, Deals Triple in FY25: Equirus Capital

Capital raised and the number of deals by real estate companies surged over three-fold in FY25, according to a note released by Equirus Capital. The report reveals that both investor interest and institutional confidence in the real estate sector have grown significantly, with REITs outperforming the Sensex and smallcap realty stocks delivering the strongest long-term performance. 

The total capital raised rose from Rs 1,09,554 million in FY24 to Rs 3,28,526 million in FY25, representing nearly a three-fold increase. Additionally, the number of deals increased from 5 to 17 over the same period. 

Capital Raised by Segment: 
  • Largecap real estate: Rs 393.898 billion 
  •  REITs: Rs 312.012 billion 
  •  Smallcap: Rs 66.938 billion 
  •  Midcap: Rs 526.26 billion 

REITs Outperform Broader Market: 
Over the past 12 months (till 23rd June 2025), REITs posted a return of 17.9 per cent, nearly three times the Sensex return of 6.1 per cent. In contrast, listed largecap, midcap and smallcap real estate stocks delivered negative returns over the same period. 

 Smallcap Real Estate Leads Long-Term Gains: 

Despite recent volatility, smallcap real estate stocks have emerged as the best-performing segment over the long term, outperforming midcaps, largecaps, REITs and the Sensex since March 2021. 

The report underlines a shift in capital market activity within the real estate sector, with institutional investors increasingly favouring REITs for their stable yields and transparency, while smallcaps have attracted long-term investors looking for high-growth opportunities.
