Piyush Gupta, Managing Director, Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers India said, “The investments in Indian real estate are more broad-based, with significant investments coming into education, shared spaces and data centres, adding to a strong domestic upcycle in office, residential and industrial areas. Investors from the APAC region have been showing an increasing appetite for Indian real estate, contributing to about half of the total foreign inflows during 2023. Looking ahead to 2024, investment activity is likely to remain unabated backed by robust domestic economic fundamentals, while a strategic integration of technology and ESG will play out in investment decisions”.
