06 Apr 2026 CW Team

Institutional investments in India’s real estate sector reached USD 1.6 billion in Q1 2026, marking a 25 per cent year-on-year increase, according to Colliers India. The growth was primarily driven by strong domestic capital, which surged 57 per cent YoY to USD 1.2 billion and accounted for 75 per cent of total inflows.

Foreign investments moderated to USD 0.4 billion, reflecting a 23 per cent annual decline amid global uncertainties. Despite this, overall inflows remained significantly higher than historical averages, indicating sustained investor confidence across asset classes.

At the city level, Delhi NCR attracted over USD 0.4 billion, followed by Bengaluru with USD 0.3 billion, together contributing 46 per cent of total investments. Multi-city deals accounted for nearly one-third of inflows, driven by hospitality and residential assets.

Office assets led investment activity with USD 0.8 billion, accounting for half of total inflows, while residential assets contributed around 20 per cent. Domestic investors dominated the office segment, reflecting strong confidence in income-generating assets.

Commenting on the trend, Badal Yagnik noted that domestic demand remains resilient, while global investors may adopt a cautious approach in the near term. Vimal Nadar added that alternative, hospitality and retail segments are gaining traction, driven largely by foreign capital.

The sector continues to benefit from favourable demographics, rising consumption and expanding investor interest across both core and alternative asset classes.
