The total real estate equity investments reached $26.6 billion across six major Indian cities. Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru collectively secured $16.5 billion, constituting 62% of total investments during this period.
The prominent position of these gateway cities resulted from their concentration of quality projects, advanced infrastructure, available skilled workforce, strong demand across segments, and an increasingly organised real estate sector.
In tier-I cities, development sites and land assets secured 44% of total equity investments between 2022-24, with the office sector following at 32%. Tier-II cities attracted $3 billion, representing 10% of total investments, according to an ET report.

Site developments dominated tier-II city investments with 47% share, whilst industrial and logistics sectors claimed approximately 25% of tier-II capital inflows.
The economic growth in tier-II cities, supported by industrial development, increased consumption, and infrastructure expansion, has established them as viable investment destinations.
The report indicates institutional investors contributed 33% of real estate investments between 2022-24, whilst developers accounted for 46%.
Investors are increasingly adopting opportunistic approaches, including joint ventures and development agreements, due to limited core market opportunities.
Whilst institutional capital prioritises completed office assets and residential sites, domestic developers maintain their focus on land and office sector investments.
Land and development sites remain the primary investment choice, with residential projects accounting for 61% of such investments between 2022-24.
The office sector anticipates stable investment in 2025, with domestic funds actively participating. Foreign institutional office investments saw a fourfold increase in 2024 despite global caution.
The logistics and warehousing sectors maintain positive momentum, supported by industrial integration and IPO possibilities. The retail sector shows promise for 2025, particularly for specialised investors.
"India's real estate sector is rapidly institutionalising, creating a more transparent, risk-mitigated environment that aligns with global investor expectations. Enhanced due diligence frameworks, sustainable development mandates, and stronger compliance protocols are becoming the norm. With 1 in 5 investors prioritising green buildings, ESG-led investment strategies are no longer optional—they are central to long-term value creation," said Rishi Kumar Bagla, Chairman, CII Western Region and CMD, BG Electricals and Electronics.
"India's real estate sector is entering a new phase of growth, powered by robust capital inflows and a significant pool of dry powder ready for deployment. The strong investor sentiment, especially in residential and office assets, is underpinned by sound fundamentals and steady end-user demand. As seller-buyer expectations continue to align post-market corrections, we foresee a conducive environment for high-quality investments across both core and value-add strategies in 2025," said Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE.
The sector's increasing institutionalisation is creating a transparent, robust market meeting global standards. Enhanced transparency and reduced risks are improving credibility and global competitiveness. The momentum is directing capital towards large-scale developments and diverse investment models.

Renault confirms launch of strong hybrid Duster and Boreal for India in 2026
Renault has officially confirmed the launch of its next-generation Duster SUV and its seven-seater sibling, the Boreal, for the Indian market. Both models will be built on the CMF-B platform, developed in collaboration with Nissan, and are slated to hit Indian roads in early 2026. The new-gen Duster will arrive first, with the larger Boreal (based on the globally sold Dacia Bigster) following later in the year. While initial variants will feature petrol and turbo-petrol powertrains, strong hybrid options will be introduced within 6 to 12 months after the launch. Production for the India-spec models is set to commence at the Renault-Nissan plant in Chennai this September. In line with global trends and emission norms, diesel engines will not be offered. Globally, the Duster hybrid is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine paired with two electric motors and a 1.2 kWh battery, delivering a combined 140 bhp. It features an electric automatic gearbox, offering up to 80% pure electric drive in urban settings. The Boreal hybrid variant, known as the Dacia Bigster internationally, is expected to feature a 1.4 kWh battery, producing a total output of 153 bhp, with a 107 bhp petrol engine and a 51 bhp electric motor. Additionally, Renault is evaluating the possibility of CNG-powered variants of both the Duster and Boreal, aligning with India's growing interest in alternative fuel options. As the company continues its work on a dedicated EV, the emphasis for now will be on strong hybrids and CNG models tailored for India's evolving fuel landscape.

Mood turns sombre at Bombay House after Air India Dreamliner crash
Grief hung heavy over Bombay House, Tata Group's iconic headquarters, after a London-bound Air India Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on Thursday — one of the deadliest air disasters in recent Indian aviation history. The mood inside the building, usually abuzz with activity, was subdued as news trickled in of the tragedy involving the airline the group had reacquired just over two years ago. Tata Group, which took back the reins of Air India in January 2022, moved quickly to activate its crisis response and emergency protocols, a group source said. 'Everyone is shaken — the mood is grim,' said an executive. The crash has dealt a blow to the conglomerate's efforts to turn around Air India, especially following its merger with Vistara in 2024. Tata Sons and Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran rushed to Ahmedabad on Wednesday and met Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel to assess the situation. 'An emergency centre has been activated and a support team set up for families seeking information,' Chandrasekaran said in a statement. Tata Sons, the group's holding company, holds a majority stake in Air India alongside Singapore Airlines. Tata Trusts Chairman and Tata Sons director Noel Naval Tata, who works out of Bombay House, also monitored developments, as several planned events were called off in the aftermath. The group was scheduled to unveil a new concept car from Jaguar Land Rover on Saturday at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai. The event will go ahead as planned, but without fanfare. A UK knighthood ceremony for Chandrasekaran, scheduled for Friday, has been postponed. For Tata Group, the tragedy is a double blow. Tata AIG General Insurance Company, part of the consortium that insured the aircraft, is expected to bear a portion of the financial liability. However, most of the risk is reinsured, limiting direct exposure. A source said the airline's insurance premiums are likely to rise next year when the policy comes up for renewal. The immediate focus remains on rescue operations and supporting the investigation, even as Tata executives assess the broader impact on the group's aviation strategy. The airline, founded by the Tatas, was nationalised in 1953 and reacquired in 2022 after the Narendra Modi government decided to privatise it.
