Private equity (PE) investments in Indian real estate reached $4.15 billion in 2024, a 32% increase from last year, according to a report by Knight Frank India.

The report, titled "Trends in Private Equity Investment in India 2024," showed strong growth in the residential sector, along with high investments in warehousing and office spaces.

The warehousing sector led the way, attracting $1.88 billion (45% of total investments), thanks to the rise in e-commerce and logistics businesses. The residential sector followed with $1.18 billion (28%), as demand for housing continues to grow. Office properties saw investments of $1.1 billion (26%).

Residential investments more than doubled compared to last year, showing increased confidence in this segment.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, said, "India’s steady economy and growth over the years have made it an attractive investment destination." He added that while office investments dropped slightly, they remain strong due to the return to workplaces and rising office rents.

Mumbai was the top city for investments, receiving 50% of the total.

The largest share of funds came from the UAE, which invested $1.7 billion (42% of total investments). Indian investors contributed $1.3 billion (32%), and Singapore-based funds added $633.7 million.

This growth in private equity highlights the increasing interest in India’s real estate market, driven by demand for housing, warehouses, and commercial spaces. For hassle-free property management and rentals, visit EazeMyRent.com.
