H1 2025 Real Estate PE Inflows by City (USD Million)

“The current global economic environment marked by persistent inflation and tighter monetary conditions has led many Western funds to take a cautious stance,” said Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India. “Yet Mumbai continues to attract capital due to its strong real estate fundamentals.”

Sector-wise Trends: Office Assets Shine, Warehousing Dips

While overall capital inflow dipped, sectoral performance varied significantly:

PE Investment by Segment (H1 2025)

The office sector led PE activity with USD 706 million, growing 22% YoY. Mumbai was a key hub for these investments, especially in Grade A commercial assets with strong cash flows and long-term leases.

“Rather than broad-based exposure, investors focused on high-quality, stabilised or REIT-ready office properties,” said the report.

On the contrary, warehousing saw a major pullback, receiving only USD 50 million—its lowest since 2018.

Residential Investments: Mumbai Draws USD 115 Million

Mumbai attracted USD 115 million in PE for residential real estate, placing it third behind Bengaluru and Pune.

Residential PE Investments by City (USD Million)

A key trend was the return of debt-driven instruments, with 60% of residential investments via credit structures, as investors prioritized collateral-backed risk mitigation.

Why Mumbai Leads: Key Takeaways

• Prime office locations with high absorption rates
• Consistent demand in mid-to-premium residential segments
• Institutional investor familiarity and REIT-ready projects
• Strategic location advantage and deep capital markets

“As macroeconomic conditions in the West stabilize, global capital is likely to return, with Mumbai remaining a key entry point for institutional investors,” added Baijal.

Despite cautious investor sentiment across the region, driven by global macroeconomic uncertainties, Mumbai and Bengaluru stood out for their steady cap rates and robust fundamentals.

 Mumbai Office Market Shows Strength

• Office leasing in Mumbai rose by 24% year-on-year, reflecting strong demand for quality commercial space.
• Despite global slowdown concerns, cap rates in Mumbai’s office segment remained stable in the range of 7.50% to 8.50%.
• The limited new supply helped drive higher rental growth and occupancy, signaling confidence in long-term office demand.

 Retail Market: Capital Values Outpace Rents

• Mumbai’s retail sector saw capital values rise faster than rental income, suggesting investor optimism.
• The opening of three new malls in 2025 is expected to stabilize rents and moderate capital appreciation in the coming quarters.
• Bengaluru mirrored this trend with strong high-street activity.

 Industrial Market Maintains Momentum

• Industrial cap rates in Mumbai remained in the 7.00% to 8.00% band, supported by demand from e-commerce and third-party logistics players.
• Bengaluru continued to draw investor attention with its position as a tech-logistics hub, further reinforcing India’s industrial growth story.

 Cap Rate Snapshot – India (Q1 2025)

• India Lending Rate: 9.65%

 Investor Caution, but India Holds Appeal

While capital flows across Asia-Pacific were conservative due to delayed global rate cuts, India stood out for its relative economic stability and property market fundamentals. Cap rates in most APAC cities remained flat, with Mumbai holding steady amid regional volatility.

According to Colliers, cities like Mumbai are benefiting from a combination of limited supply, growing demand, and investor confidence, making them ideal for long-term real estate exposure in the region.
