Investment volumes in Indian realty down 43% from FY21 peak: Report

By A Representative

Private equity (PE) investments in Indian real estate continued their downward trajectory in FY25, declining to USD 3.7 billion — a 43% fall from the peak of USD 6.4 billion in FY21, according to the ANAROCK Capital FLUX FY25 report. Despite a lower number of deals, average ticket sizes rose sharply, reflecting a more concentrated and strategic capital deployment approach.

FY25 recorded only 39 deals, down from 51 in FY24, but the average deal size surged to USD 94 million from USD 75 million the previous year. Major transactions during the year included GIC-Xander’s USD 258 million infusion into Shapoorji Pallonji and Keppel Land’s USD 251 million investment in RMZ and CPPIB. A standout was the Reliance–ADIA–KKR hybrid transaction, which alone contributed approximately 42% of the total investment value for the year. This deal also played a key role in pushing hybrid deal structures to 42% of overall PE transactions.

Foreign capital played a dominant role in FY25, accounting for 84% of all PE investments in Indian real estate, a notable increase from 68% in FY24. This underscores a renewed interest from global investors, despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions.

Logistics and warehousing emerged as the top-performing sector, drawing 48% of the total PE capital — the highest in the past five years. Meanwhile, pan-India and multi-city transactions continued their upward trend, constituting 52% of total deal value, compared to 47% in FY24. This reflects growing investor confidence in diversified portfolios and formalization across the sector.

Commercial office investments saw a significant decline, with total inflows dropping to USD 806 million from USD 2.2 billion a year earlier, as investors remained cautious amid global volatility and high interest rates. The residential segment entered a consolidation phase, though deals such as Blackstone’s investment in Kolte Patil and Alpha Wave’s transaction with Oberoi Realty signal continued international interest. In contrast, retail real estate is thriving on strong consumer demand, but limited PE activity due to dominance by REITs and large, well-capitalized players.

According to Shobhit Agarwal, MD & CEO of ANAROCK Capital, “Private equity inflows have shrunk, but what we are witnessing is a reallocation towards fewer but higher-quality bets.” He added that the rise in hybrid structures and the growing share of foreign participation indicate evolving risk appetites and strategic repositioning by investors.

As the sector heads into FY26, capital is expected to consolidate further around high-quality assets. With global investors re-engaging, Indian real estate may be entering a new phase of strategic and resilient growth.

Spirit of leadership vs bondage: Of empowered chairman of 100-acre social forestry coop

By Gagan Sethi* This is about Khoda Sava, a young Dalit belonging to the Vankar sub-caste, who worked as a bonded labourer in a village near Vadgam in Banskantha district of North Gujarat. The year was 1982. Khoda had taken a loan of Rs 7,000 from the village sarpanch, a powerful landlord doing money-lending as his side business. Khoda, who had taken the loan for marriage, was landless. Normally, villagers would mortgage their land if they took loan from the sarpanch. But Khoda had no land. He had no option but to enter into a bondage agreement with the sarpanch in order to repay the loan. Working in bondage on the sarpanch’s field meant that he would be paid Rs 1,200 per annum, from which his loan amount with interest would be deducted. He was also obliged not to leave the sarpanch’s field and work as daily wager somewhere else. At the same time, Khoda was offered meal once a day, and his wife job as agricultural worker on a “priority basis”. That year, I was working as secretary...

1857 War of Independence... when Hindu-Muslim separatism, hatred wasn't an issue

"The Sepoy Revolt at Meerut", Illustrated London News, 1857 By Shamsul Islam* Large sections of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs unitedly challenged the greatest imperialist power, Britain, during India’s First War of Independence which began on May 10, 1857; the day being Sunday.

Bangladesh alternative more vital for NE India than Kaladan project in Myanmar

By Mehjabin Bhanu* There has been a recent surge in the number of Chin refugees entering Mizoram from the adjacent nation as a result of airstrikes by the Myanmar Army on ethnic insurgents and intense fighting along the border between India and Myanmar. Uncertainty has surrounded India's Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport project, which uses Sittwe port in Myanmar, due to the recent outbreak of hostilities along the Mizoram-Myanmar border. Construction on the road portion of the Kaladan project, which runs from Paletwa in Myanmar to Zorinpui in Mizoram, was resumed thanks to the time of relative calm during the intermittent period. However, recent unrest has increased concerns about missing the revised commissioning goal dates. The project's goal is to link northeastern states with the rest of India via an alternate route, using the Sittwe port in Myanmar. In addition to this route, India can also connect the region with the rest of India through Assam by using the Chittagon...
