Total PE into Indian Real Estate in 2016 Vastly Exceed 2015 Inflows
In 2016, equity investment was seen on a return journey to India. After the change in its regulatory framework, the country is now looking way more attractive to investors – both foreign and domestic – than ever before. Thanks to an improvement in India’s rankings on different indices and a pro-active government keen on improving these further, the country is bound to attract more equity investment.
In 2016, the private equity inflows into Indian real estate showed a 62% increase (y-o-y). The total inflows last year stood at INR 38,000 crore compared to the 2015 figure of INR 23,500 crore. Out of the entire sum, INR 13,500 crore was investment via pure equity while the rest was via different structures of debt. Even in terms of pure equity, 2016 saw an impressive increase of 29% (y-o-y).
