India's Real Estate Private Equity Investments Decline as Domestic Investors Gain Share
Private equity investments in India's real estate sector declined 31% year-on-year to $1.66 billion in the first nine months of 2026, marking the lowest level in six years. This drop was driven by reduced foreign investment, which fell sharply to 15% of total inflows amid better returns abroad and rupee depreciation. Conversely, domestic investors increased their share to 85%, reflecting a shift in capital sources. Despite fewer large deals, the number of transactions rose, with office assets remaining the largest segment.
