Equity investments in real estate surged by 74% in the January–March 2025 quarter, reaching $3 billion. This marks a significant increase compared to the same period last year and a 13% growth over the previous quarter. Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR collectively accounted for 67% of the total equity inflows, as reported by CBRE.
The primary drivers of these inflows were strong developer activity and significant interest from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and institutional investors. In the same quarter of 2024, total equity investments amounted to $1.7 billion, reflecting the market's growing appeal.
Bengaluru led the equity investments, closely followed by Mumbai and Delhi-NCR. Together, these three cities accounted for a major share of the capital inflows. The investments were predominantly focused on residential & office development assets.
Land and development sites, along with built-up office assets, made up nearly 74% of the total capital inflows. Retail assets also saw increased investor interest, accounting for 5% of the total inflows during the quarter. The growth in retail was notably driven by a 13% quarter-on-quarter rise in REIT capital investments.
