India Real Estate PE Investments Jump 59% To $6.7 Billion In 2025

In India, a report by Savills India reported that private equity (PE) investments in real estate rebounded drastically in 2025, up 59% annually to $6.7 billion. Good economic growth, stable demand and the continued interest of global investors helped the recovery.

The gross domestic product (GDP) growth of India continued to be robust and grew 7.8% in Q1 FY26 and 8.2% in Q2 FY26, and reduced inflation and a cumulative 125 basis point cut in the repo rates contributed to the higher liquidity and investment levels.

Which Segments Led The Investment Activity?

Investment capital flowed primarily into key real estate sectors. The office market took the lead, attracting $2.4 billion, which represented 35.3% of all investments. Data centres came next, claiming a 23.2% share, and residential properties accounted for 21% of the total.

This tendency indicates increased interest of the investors in commercial spaces, digital infrastructure, and high-end housing.

The market was dominated by foreign investors whose contribution was 76% of total inflows, amounting to $5.1 billion, showing great confidence in the world in the real estate sector of India.

What Do Land Investments And Deals Indicate?

Land investments accounted for nearly 25% of all incoming capital, with more than 60% of that sum directed toward office buildings and data centres.

Mumbai and Pune were the main beneficiaries of these investments, accounting for about 79% of the total.

The report also noted balanced activity levels between the asset stages, with the ready and under-construction projects each contributing 23% to inflows, respectively.

The year also witnessed several big deals made by global institutional investors in office developments, data centres and logistics assets.

These trends suggest a strong potential for future developments, which is supported by institutional investment.
