Private equity investment in India’s real estate sector has recorded a strong recovery, rising 23% year-on-year to $2.7 billion during the first half of FY27, according to a report by real estate consultancy Anarock. The investment stood at $2.2 billion during the same period last year.
The April-September 2026 period marked the strongest first half for real estate PE investment since FY23. The $2.7 billion inflow also represents around 63% of the total $4.3 billion invested throughout FY26.
Investment activity expanded during the period, with 30 deals recorded compared with 22 a year earlier. The average deal size also increased by 18% to around $91 million.
One of the biggest developments was the sharp rise in domestic investment. Indian investors deployed around $1.3 billion across 24 deals, accounting for nearly 48% of total PE inflows. This was a major increase from the $220 million invested during the corresponding period last year.
Offices remained the largest investment category, attracting 35% of total PE inflows. Data centres also gained significant attention, accounting for 29%, compared with just 4% in the previous year. Hospitality attracted 12%, while residential projects received 14%.
The latest numbers indicate growing investor confidence in India’s real estate market, with both traditional and new-age property assets attracting stronger institutional capital.
