37% drop in institutional investment in India realty
India among other countries are seeing a drop in realty investment by institutions. Real estate services and investment firm CBRE has said that India along with Greater China and Australia are witnessing a softening. Though, India does remain on the top in Asia Pacific office markets along with Japan and Singapore. Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Bengaluru received 54% of the total real estate investments during the first half of 2025. Institutional investments in realty touched US Dollars 3.07 billion from 30 deals in the period, marking a 37% year-on-year decline, according to a report quoting commercial real estate and investment management company JLL. A realty investment peak was seen in India in 2024. This may be a result of international economic conditions and political uncertainties. A report says JLL sees a pipeline of deals exceeding $1 billion due to growing interest from REITs and institutional players. The real estate market has consistently demonstrated its staying power with annual investments surpassing the $5 billion threshold across the previous five years. It is pointed out that a major transaction of 2025 has been Blackstone’s entry into India’s residential real estate sector with approximately $214 million invested to acquire up to 66% of Kolte-Patil Developers.
