Active investors

There are a wide range of active investors present in India. They include well established
domestic institutional investors, family offices, ultra high net worth investors, real estate funds
and large global institutional investors. Many sovereign funds have tied up with Indian financial
institutions or regional developers to acquire core assets. The real estate market is expecting
higher liquidity with emergence of REITs in the near future. Over the last 15 years, India has
observed foreign investment of USD 341 Billion out of which 10% was invested in the real
estate sector.
India offers one of the highest yields in commercial real estate across the world. While yields
from residential properties are between 2-4%, commercial properties offer around 8-11%,
depending on the quality of asset and leases. Foreign investors have already bought rent
generating commercial assets worth over USD 2 Billion in India in 2014, a four-fold rise
compared to 2013.
