Mumbai, December 30 (IANS). India’s real estate sector has raised Rs 17,867 crore through 11 capital market deals in the first nine months of the current financial year. This information was given in a report released on Tuesday.
Equirus Capital reported that the number of deals in real estate in the nine months of FY26 has become equal to that of FY25. It may cross the highest level in six years this year.
Overall, the real estate sector has raised funding of Rs 72,331 crore since FY18 and REITs got the largest share in this at Rs 31,241 crore, followed by large-cap real estate companies with Rs 20,437 crore, mid-cap real estate companies with Rs 12,496 crore and small-cap real estate companies with Rs 8,156 crore.
India’s real estate sector remains strong due to strong economic growth and consumption.
Recent trends suggest that the real estate sector will continue to grow in the coming times on the basis of increasing affordability and investment.
“Home loan rates and rental yields have remained stable post-Covid in FY21, providing relief to buyers. The spread between home loan rates and rental yields is likely to narrow to less than 500 basis points in FY26,” according to the report.
The affordability of homes has increased across India in the last few years. The property price to annual income ratio has come down to 3.3 in 2024, which was 22 in 1995.
Real estate was the preferred asset class in the first half of 2025 due to various reasons like changing lifestyle, upgrades, low interest rates and rising incomes.
According to the report, demand for residential real estate across India has been equal to or greater than supply over the last few years. The last calendar year (2024) saw an increase in sales in the top seven cities due to the launch of several new projects.
