The quarterly data indicates that industrial and logistics segment took the lead, with $1.7 billion (Rs 144 billion) capturing 77% of the total investment volume. This could be attributed to rising opportunities in the segment due to growing demand from e-commerce players and government’s push towards establishing India as a manufacturing hub.
The commercial office segment ranked second, garnering 21% of the overall PE investments. All investments in this sector came from foreign investors, focusing on core assets in cities like Chennai, Mumbai and NCR.
“Despite global challenges, India witnessed heightened investment activity with year to date 2024 inflows surpassing all of 2023 investments, reflecting strong investor confidence on the back of a robust macroeconomic environment. The industrial & logistics segment takes the biggest share in quarterly investments, as diversification strategies take centre stage.” said Arvind Nandan, Managing Director, Research & Consulting, Savills India.
