NCR contributed for the most proportion of real estate investments in H2 2022: estimated
In accordance with the Vestian research ‘Institutional Investment in Indian Real Estate: H1 2022,’ NCR contributed to the most real estate investments in H2 2022, drawing 21% of overall investment.
Whereas the business sector received the majority of the investment, many residential transactions were also completed.
Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, came in second with a stake of 16% in H1 2022, down from 33% in H1 2021. Bengaluru, the country’s leading office market, stayed in the third position. The business category received the most investment, trailed by the residential market.
Furthermore, Chennai amounted to 7% of overall investment in H1 2022, whilst Hyderabad and Pune had no individual investment in the initial half of the year.
Other Tier II cities received a 7% share of the funding in H1 2022. Throughout the first half of the year, cities such as Chandigarh, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Becharaji, and Zirakpur saw a surge in investor interest.
Although worldwide fears over the Omicron wave had abated, H1 2022 remained cautious, with institutional investors deciding to wait out until the upheaval caused by the various waves dissipated.
The quarter stayed practical, with numerous significant agreements signed in the commercial, residential, and life sciences sectors. The persistent momentum in institutional real estate investment over the period suggests that investor confidence has remained relatively steady despite the economic slowdown, price inflation, and the ongoing pandemic.
Amid concerns about the real estate sector’s future in the aftermath of the economic downturn, sectors such as commercial and residential properties have maintained favourable investment prospects in H1 2022.
With an improvement in the return to work and a solid supply in the pipeline in the future time, the industry is likely to see greater demand than in prior pandemic-affected years, resulting in improved investment prospects.
Having customers eager to purchase and socialise, the retail sector is recovering with increased energy across India.
In the meantime, incentivised by the operational REITs’ good performance despite the pandemic and the bolstering of portfolios across various asset classes, systemic REIT concepts are likely to emerge, and we anticipate more retail, warehousing, and hospitality assets as part of REIT options in the future months.
In the first half of the year, investors boosted their exposure to fresh investment vehicles such as data centres and life sciences.
The institutional investment was reported at USD 2.3 billion in H1 2022, contrasted to USD 3.2 billion in H1 2021, representing a 28% decrease as measured by the amount in H1 2021.
Recurrent waves of the epidemic, along with rising prices and instability induced by international constraints, had a stronger impact on the Indian market, prompting investors to be more cautious in the Indian real estate market.
Surprisingly, notwithstanding drastically lower investment in the industry, the average transaction size in H1 2022 was USD 118 million, representing a 14% rise over the average deal size in H1 2021.
Overseas funds accounted for 84% of the total in H1 2022, indicating greater interest from foreign investors as a result of the country’s recent reforms and simplicity of doing business.
Multi-city agreements took the top spot in institutional investment, increasing their proportion to 36% in H1 2022 from 30% in H1 2021, while NCR accounted for the most real estate investment in H2 2022, garnering 21% of overall investment.
