NEW DELHI: According to Savills India, a leading global real estate consulting firm, private equity investments in the Indian real estate sector reached USD 1.5 billion (₹131 billion) in Q3 2025. This marks a 32% decline compared to the previous year, yet the overall activity remains strong, with year-to-date (YTD) inflows totaling USD 3.9 billion (₹334 billion), closely approaching 2024’s figures.
During Q3 2025, the office sector dominated investment, attracting USD 0.6 billion (₹52 billion), or 39% of total inflows, followed by data centers at 38%. The residential segment made up 20%, and co-living, though modest at 1%, is emerging as a promising alternative asset class.
“Notably, over 65% of YTD 2025 inflows have been driven by foreign investors, showcasing their confidence in the Indian real estate market’s resilience and long-term growth,” noted Sumeet Bhatia, managing director of Capital Markets at Savills India. “We anticipate this positive investment sentiment to persist.”
Key transactions indicate strong investor confidence across various asset classes, highlighted by Blackstone’s USD 566 million investment in a Mumbai data center, Prime Offices Fund’s USD 311 million acquisition in Chennai, and 360 One’s USD 272 million deal in Pune, reflecting continued global interest in India’s commercial and digital real estate sectors.
