Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO – India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, “The record investment inflows, the highest ever for the sector, reflect the resilience and growth potential of the Indian real estate sector. Undeterred by global headwinds, equity inflows into the sector are expected to remain steady in 2023. Additionally, we hope to see the listing of India’s first retail REIT in 2023, which would enable investors to expand their investment horizons.”
Gaurav Kumar, Managing Director, Capital Markets and Residential Business, CBRE India, CBRE India, said, “There is a possibility that some large institutional investors could diversify their portfolios by incorporating I&L, retail, and DC assets. We may potentially see a few new set of investors in the real estate segment.”
Investment Outlook:
- Capital flows likely to remain steady; investors expected to remain cautious amidst recessionary fears in the US and Europe.
- The year 2023 could see the listing of India’s first retail REIT, which would widen investment avenues for investors.
- While a few large institutional investors with a strong presence in the office sector in India could diversify their portfolios by including I&L, retail and DC assets, we could also see the entry of some new investors in the Indian RE landscape.
- Partnership models could gain prominence to mitigate risk and navigate operational challenges, especially amidst external uncertainties in the Indian RE landscape.
- Higher financing costs amidst elevated levels of policy rates due to sticky inflation could impact returns in the short-term.
