Private equity, M&A drive 3x jump in real estate capital in FY25
Capital raising in India's real estate sector in the financial year 2025 (FY25) tripled to 17 deals raising ₹32,852.6 crore, from five deals raising ₹10,955.4 crore in FY24, according to Equirus Capital, a financial services firm.
The sharp uptick was driven by a rise in private equity and M&A activity, both domestic and international, and an increase in average transaction value, the report stated.
This boom in capital flows has been observed despite a decline in the secondary market performance of listed real estate stocks across large-, mid-, and small-cap segments—all of which underperformed the Sensex's 7.4 per cent gain over the same period.
'One of the bright spots in the market has been the real estate investment trusts (Reits), which outperformed with a 12.2 per cent return, underscoring their growing appeal,' said Vijay Agrawal, managing director, Equirus Capital. 'India's Reit and infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) markets have evolved from niche investments into core components of the country's real estate and infrastructure financing ecosystem.'
Since FY20, cumulative fund mobilisations through Reits and InvITs have crossed ₹1.6 lakh crore, driven by their expanding asset base, robust institutional backing, and growing retail investor participation, the report by Equirus said.
In the first month of FY26, the sector witnessed four deals worth $372 million, reflecting sustained investor confidence and appetite for real estate as an asset class, according to the report.
The four deals featured Eldeco Group ($176 million), DLF Kolkata IT SEZ ($79 million), SAMHI Hotels ($88 million), and Zillion Hotels & Resorts ($29 million).
'This surge in capital raising highlights the sector's resilience, institutionalisation, and long-term growth potential, making it a focus area for PE funds, strategic investors, and capital market stakeholders alike,' added Agrawal.

Markets extend losses for 3rd session amid broad-based selloff; Sensex slips below 81k
In a volatile trading session, the 30-share BSE index tanked 636.24 points or 0.78 per cent to settle at 80,737.51. During the day, it dropped 798.66 points or 0.98 per cent to 80,575.09. Domestic markets stayed on the back foot for the third straight session as investors offloaded energy, finance and IT stocks, traders said. Mumbai, Jun 3 (PTI) Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled nearly 1 per cent on Tuesday, weighed down by a widespread selloff amid foreign fund outflows and growing geopolitical uncertainties. The NSE Nifty plunged 174.10 points or 0.70 per cent to 24,542.50. As many as 2,266 stocks declined, while 1,731 advanced and 147 remained unchanged on the BSE. 'The domestic market remained in negative terrain amid mixed global cues, geopolitical issues and a volatile currency market led by a weak USD. Profit-booking is evident across sectors, except for real estate stocks, supported by expectations of an interest rate cut by the RBI. 'Mid and small-cap stocks are experiencing relatively less consolidation than large caps due to better earnings growth & moderation in premium valuation. While short-term consolidation is likely to persist, strong domestic-oriented players are estimated to provide outperformance against external volatility,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. From the Sensex firms, Adani Ports declined 2.42 per cent. Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid, Eternal, IndusInd Bank, Maruti, Tata Consultancy Services and UltraTech Cement were among the biggest laggards. Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the only gainer in the pack. Adani Group's 11 listed companies ended lower. Adani Group on Monday said it does not handle any cargo coming from Iran or any Iranian-owned ship at any of its ports, as it denied any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion. In a stock exchange filing, the group said reports of links between any of its entities and Iranian LPG are 'baseless and mischievous'. The BSE midcap gauge declined 0.52 per cent, while the smallcap index dipped 0.07 per cent. Among sectoral indices, power dropped 1.50 per cent, utilities (1.42 per cent), bankex (0.89 per cent), energy (0.88 per cent), capital goods (0.87 per cent), financial services (0.80 per cent) and teck (0.68 per cent). On the other hand, commodities and realty were the gainers. 'The Nifty has extended its consolidation phase for yet another day, showing no urgency in establishing a clear directional trend. It appears that investors are awaiting a decisive commentary following the RBI's interest rate decision,' Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,589.47 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. 'The ongoing foreign fund outflows, coupled with weak global cues such as geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over trade deals, are adding pressure to the markets,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. In Asian markets, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled in positive territory, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index ended lower. South Korean markets were closed. European markets were trading lower. US markets ended higher on Monday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.28 per cent to USD 64.81 a barrel. After tumbling 796.75 points or 0.97 per cent to 80,654.26 in intra-day trade on Monday, the 30-share BSE Sensex witnessed volatile trends and later ended 77.26 points or 0.09 per cent lower at 81,373.75. The Nifty dipped 34.10 points or 0.14 per cent to settle at 24,716.60. PTI SUM SUM BAL BAL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
