08 Aug 2023 CW Team

According to Cushman & Wakefield, it was mentioned that there had been a 51 per cent increase in private equity investment in real estate in the first half of this year, reaching Rs 246.80 billion. During April-June, the private equity (PE) investment amounted to Rs 158.50 billion, which marked a 63 per cent rise compared to the previous quarter and a 60 per cent increase compared to the same period in the preceding year. In a statement, real estate consultant Cushman & Wakefield noted that the cumulative inflow for H1-2023 (January-June) was nearly Rs 246.80 billion, showing a 51 per cent surge from H1-22. This surge was attributed mainly to investments in the office segment and heightened investments in alternative segments like logistics & industrial and data centres.

The majority of the inflows, accounting for 87 per cent, were from equity investments. Somy Thomas, Managing Director of Valuations and Co Head of Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield, commented that the Indian office markets represented a remarkably resilient investment category in the real estate realm. These markets showcased steady occupancies and rental growth that outpaced inflation.

Thomas added that the retail asset classes were experiencing mostly double-digit Net Operating Income (NOI) growth on a year-on-year basis. Given the scarcity of high-quality retail space, it was anticipated that rental growth would persist in the foreseeable future.
