Domestic investments in Indian real estate surge 53% to $1.4 billion in H1 2025
Domestic capital, long playing a secondary role, has stepped up significantly, growing from just 16% of total investments in 2021 to nearly half in H1 2025. Foreign investments, in contrast, declined 39% year-on-year to USD 1.6 billion, impacted by global credit tightening and macroeconomic uncertainty.
The sector witnessed a strong recovery in Q2 2025, with investments rising 29% over Q1 to USD 1.7 billion, indicating renewed investor confidence across residential, office, and retail assets. Residential real estate led the inflows during the half-year with USD 819.9 million—a 27% year-on-year growth—followed by the office segment with USD 702.8 million, though the latter saw a 22% decline compared to H1 2024.
'The growing influence of domestic capital has helped cushion the impact of global headwinds,' said
Badal Yagnik
, CEO of the company. 'Over 60% of domestic investments in H1 2025 went into residential and office segments, reflecting sustained faith in India's core real estate sectors.'
Mumbai and Bengaluru collectively accounted for 39% of the total investment inflows. Mumbai led with 22% share, clocking USD 656.3 million, a massive 408% jump from the same period last year. Bengaluru followed with USD 498.8 million, a 15% increase, with both residential and office segments comprising 57% of the city's share.
An unexpected highlight came from Kolkata, which captured 13% of total inflows on the back of a significant retail transaction worth USD 380 million.
Meanwhile, the mixed-use asset class saw inflows surge 148% to USD 628.5 million, indicating rising appetite for integrated developments. Retail and alternate assets also gained traction, collectively accounting for USD 0.5 billion, led by marquee deals in emerging consumption hubs.

'Despite a year-on-year dip in foreign capital, the resilience shown by India's real estate market in Q2 2025 is encouraging,' said Vimal Nadar, head of research of the company. 'Strong domestic consumption, improved affordability, and robust end-user demand are driving momentum in residential and retail segments. We also expect REITs and institutional investors to continue scouting for quality assets, particularly in retail and mixed-use spaces.'
While office space investments fell compared to last year, demand remains steady, with corporate occupiers and GCCs continuing to evaluate long-term bets in India. Average deal sizes in H1 2025 also indicated increasing interest in portfolio-level investments.
The report underscores that India's maturing real estate ecosystem is becoming more self-reliant, with domestic institutions emerging as stabilizing forces amid evolving global investment patterns.

Italy's NextChem to equip world's top ultra-low carbon methanol plant
MAIRE ( announces that NEXTCHEM has been awarded about €210 million (~$247.8 million) basic engineering and critical proprietary equipment supply contract for the Pacifico Mexinol project. This ultra-low carbon methanol production facility will be located in Sinaloa, Mexico, and will have a capacity of 2.1 million tons per year, out of which around 15% eligible under the ISCC-EU RFNBO criteria for green fuels. The agreement has been signed by NEXTCHEM's subsidiary KT Tech with Samsung E&A Co., Ltd. as the EPC contractor for the project. The signing ceremony was attended by Mexican federal, state and municipal government officials, as well as ambassadors from the US, Italy and Korea, together with senior executives of the companies involved in the project. NextChem, a MAIRE company, secured a €210 million (~$247.8 million) contract for engineering and equipment supply for the Pacifico Mexinol ultra-low carbon methanol plant in Mexico. Set to be the world's largest of its kind, the facility will use NextChem 's NX AdWinMethanol Zero technology and begin operations in 2029, supporting global decarbonisation efforts. The Pacifico Mexinol project, worth over USD 3.3 billion, is being jointly developed by Texas-based Transition Industries and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank, and will be executed by a consortium composed of third parties. Once operational in 2029, it is poised to be the largest single ultra-low carbon methanol facility in the world – producing approximately 350 thousand metric tons of RFNBO (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) methanol and 1.8 million metric tons of low carbon methanol from natural gas with carbon capture per year. The contract, subject to Final Investment Decision, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, includes basic engineering and critical proprietary equipment supply based on the proprietary NX AdWinMethanol Zero technology, as well as site assistance services, support for commissioning, start-up and operations. The NX AdWinMethanol Zero technology developed by NEXTCHEM integrates its proprietary processes including its CO2 capture technologies. This solution further minimizes carbon emissions to nearly zero by converting captured CO2 and green hydrogen into ultra-low-carbon methanol eligible as RFNBO. This innovative technological approach increases the sustainability of the methanol production process, in line with Pacifico Mexinol's commitment to addressing climate change. Ultra-low carbon methanol supports the decarbonization of hard-to-abate fuels and chemicals sectors. The methanol produced by Pacifico Mexinol will facilitate the decarbonization of hundreds of downstream everyday products, such as fuels, plastics, paints, car parts and construction materials. Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of NEXTCHEM , commented: 'This landmark achievement, being the largest single award ever granted to NEXTCHEM, plays a pivotal role in our business trajectory and confirms the reliability of our sustainable technology solutions portfolio. We are honored to support this strategic initiative which is set to be a gamechanger for Mexican domestic economy, as well as for the energy transition arena globally.'
