“With a record $6.5 billion inflows in 2024, Indian realty investments have been the highest since 2020. Interestingly, Asia Pacific investors drove almost one-third of the foreign inflows in the country’s real estate during the year,” Badal Yagnik, Chief Executive Officer, Colliers India, said.

Real Estate focussed Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) Golden Growth Fund (GGF) CEO Ankur Jalan said the Indian real estate across asset classes have witnessed strong demand in the last five years thereby attracting interest from both domestic and foreign institutional investors.

“With the government’s policy interventions, India is becoming the centre of global investment, paving the way for further acceleration in real estate demand,” he said, adding that the fund inflows would remain strong even this year across all major cities including Delhi-NCR.
