Top Indian cities get $26.6 bn realty equity inflow between 2022 and 2024
Real estate in the top six Indian cities received $26.6 billion of equity inflow between 2022 and 2024 (two calendar years), as per a joint report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and CBRE.
Mumbai topped the real estate equity investment with the highest inflow of $6.9 billion, accounting for a 26 per cent share in total real estate equity investments between 2022-24.
Equity investments in the real estate sector involve providing capital to acquire, develop, or operate real estate assets in exchange for a share of ownership and the potential profits generated by those assets.
Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru attracted around $16.5 billion, accounting for a cumulative 62 per cent share during 2022-24. Development sites, land, and office sectors emerged as prime asset classes in Tier-I cities.
This sustained dominance of gateway cities was driven by a high concentration of investment-grade projects, robust urban infrastructure, a skilled talent pool, strong demand across asset classes, and a steadily formalising real estate ecosystem, the report said.
Between 2022 and 2024, Tier-II cities accounted for nearly 10 per cent of total real estate equity investments, amounting to approximately $3 billion. During this period, site developments emerged as the leading investment sector in Tier-II cities, attracting approximately 47 per cent of the total Tier-II capital inflows, followed by the industrial and logistics (I&L) sector, which accounted for around 25 per cent of the share.
As per the report, institutional investors drove a 33 per cent share of real estate investments between 2022-24, while developers accounted for approximately 46 per cent.
Equity investments include those by private equity funds, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds; institutional investors; real estate developers; real estate fund-cum-developers; investment banks; corporate groups; real estate investment trusts (REITs); and others.
Rishi Kumar Bagla, chairman, CII Western Region, and chairman and managing director, BG Electricals and Electronics, said: '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 limited core market opportunities, investors are increasingly turning to opportunistic strategies, including joint ventures and development agreements, to build core assets.
Despite global caution, India saw a fourfold year-on-year (Y-o-Y) jump in foreign institutional office investments in 2024.
Anshuman Magazine, chairman and chief executive officer – India, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE, said: '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.'

How to check your DIGIPIN on your phone? Follow these quick and easy steps
The Indian government has launched a new digital address system called DIGIPIN that aims to enable the precise identification of locations in the country. DIGIPIN is expected to streamline services such as last-mile delivery for e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart. It could also aid police, ambulance, and fire services in improving their emergency response times as DIGIPIN claims to offer a level of geographical accuracy that has been lacking in India so far. 'The DIGIPIN will lead to secure and efficient communication between the citizens and government and private entities. It is an open-source, interoperable, geo-coded and grid-based digital address system,' the government said in a press release. 'DIGIPIN simplifies address management by providing precise location-based identification, especially in areas with unstructured or changing addresses. It also helps in areas where no clear address exists, such as rural regions, forests, and oceans,' India Post said in a post on X. As the government rolls out DIGIPIN nationwide, here is what you need to know about the unique digital ID as well as how you can generate a DIGIPIN for your own home. DIGIPIN is a unique ten-character alphanumeric code that can be generated for any property that is approximately 4 by 4 square meters on Indian land. This means that unique DIGIPINs can be generated for nearly all types of properties including in urban locations and rural areas across different maritime zones. For example, the DIGIPIN for The Indian Express office building in Noida is 39J-53M-TJF9. The underlying technology of DIGIPIN has been developed by the Department of Posts in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad and National Remote Sensing Centre, which works under the aegis of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The government has emphasised that DIGIPIN is an open-source, interoperable, and privacy-focused system. Each DIGIPIN is a encoded with the geographic coordinates of that property so it does not store any personal information. In terms of the accuracy of the DIGIPIN, India Post said that it might come down to the device used to capture the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location. The DIGIPIN will not replace the traditional six-digit PIN system. Instead, it is intended to act as an extra layer of precision built on top of existing postal addresses. To find out the DIGIPIN for your home or any other location, follow these steps: – Go to This is the dedicated 'Know Your DIGIPIN' portal launched by the Department of Posts for people to easily generate their unique code. – Ensure that your web browser has access to your location. If location is turned off, you may need to enable it in the browser settings. – If a pop-up appears asking for location access, click on Allow. – Tap 'I Consent' if you agree to the terms of the DIGIPIN privacy policy. – You will be able to see the unique alphanumeric code at the bottom right corner of the screen. You can also find out the DIGIPIN for any other location by entering the geographical coordinates and vice-versa.
