- 95 percent drop in the first quarter
India’s realty sector has seen a sharp decline in private equity (PE) investments. PE investments fell by 95 per cent in the first quarter of 2023 due to rising recession threat, rising capital costs, mismatch in valuations among sellers, investors.
In Q1 of this year, only 0.05 billion dollars (about Rs. 370 crores) PE investments have come.
This is 95 percent less than the investment of one billion dollars in the same period last year.
Savill’s report states that this situation has become obstacle to the expansion of capital in the country. However, Savills India Capital Markets MD Diwakar Rana said that the demand to invest in core office, core retail, warehouse housing, data centers, and life sciences is very strong. Indian real estate offers huge opportunities for strategic investments, with new investment formats to suit current needs and provide significant returns.
