Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are supporting property developers in shoring up capital for land acquisitions and project completions, emerging as a key backbone of India's thriving real estate many as four AIFs focused on this sector were launched last year. At 14%, the real estate sector accounted for the largest share of cumulative net AIF investments in 2024.'AIFs today are doing more than filling funding gaps—they're strategically deploying capital at key stages like land acquisition and approvals, fast-tracking launches, and ensuring timely delivery,' said Amit Goyal, managing director, India Sotheby's International Realty.'We see this shift reflected in the strong investor interest and closing of the first round of Rs 500 crore, in the ASK Curated Luxury Asset Fund where India Sotheby's International Realty is the co-sponsor," said Goyal.

At this stage, the projects are either eligible for revival or promoters are filing for bankruptcy,' said Dinesh Gupta, president, CREDAI Western UP. 'Currently, we have positive market trends and apart from SWAMIH funds, the sector needs more sources of alternative funds to push viable and workable projects.'According to Anarock research, the number of active AIFs has grown 36-fold over the past decade—to 1,524 as of March 5 2025 from 42 as of March 31 2013 with commitments raised increasing fivefold since FY13 and FY25, commitments raised in AIFs surged 83% compounded annually, reflecting their growing importance in the broader investment landscape.

Delhi Woman Drinks Acid After Boyfriend Of 7 Years Refuses To Marry Her
New Delhi: A 19-year-old woman in Delhi attempted suicide by drinking acid after her partner, with whom she was in a relationship for seven years, refused to marry her despite several assurances, police said on Wednesday. The man, identified as Rehan, also reportedly faked his identity before the woman and developed physical relations with her on the pretext of marriage. Besides, Rehan, believed to be in his late 20s, made the woman undergo an abortion on two occasions, the police said. Rehan has been arrested while the woman is believed to be in a critical condition and undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital. Her family said doctors said she may not survive the injuries. In his complaint with Vasant Kunj South police, the woman's father alleged the accused, a resident of Shankar Camp who works as a ground staff at the Delhi airport, faked his actual identity to his daughter seven years ago. The father separately told reporters that Rehan often wore a "kalawa" - a sacred Hindu thread - to mislead them. As the man and woman started seeing each other, the former expressed his desire to marry her, the First Information Report (FIR) reviewed by NDTV said. The woman's father said he agreed to the marriage but asked Rehan to wait till his daughter turned 18. He said when his daughter turned 19 this year, he approached Rehan but the latter refused to marry her. "He used to blackmail my daughter and threatened to leak videos. He also made her undergo an abortion twice. He exploited her...," the woman's father said in his complaint. "On June 18, no one was at home when my daughter drank acid... I need justice," he added. Deputy Commissioner of Police Amit Goyal confirmed Rehan's arrest. Police sources said a preliminary probe revealed the accused enjoyed getting clicked with a sacred thread tied on his hand and living a luxurious life. The FIR has been registered under section 69 - addresses issues surrounding sexual intercourse based on deceitful, particularly concerning marriage or employment - promises of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
