The Indian real estate sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience and investor confidence, achieving its highest fundraising level in seven years. A detailed analysis reveals significant trends in capital mobilisation and stock market performance across segments.
The sector raised ₹23,080 crore through 12 deals, marking a seven-year high in fundraising efforts. This achievement underscores the industry’s ability to attract substantial capital despite market fluctuations.
Since FY2018, the real estate sector has mobilised ₹72,331 crore. Of this, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) accounted for ₹31,241 crore, making them the largest contributor. Large-cap firms raised ₹20,437 crore, mid-cap companies mobilised ₹12,496 crore, and small-cap players brought in ₹8,156 crore. This distribution highlights investor preference for structured and income-generating assets like REITs, while smaller firms attracted capital for growth opportunities.
Small-cap real estate stocks have outperformed all other categories since March 2021, signalling investor appetite for high-growth opportunities. Mid-cap stocks followed closely, suggesting a balanced approach by investors seeking growth with moderate risk. Large-cap firms and REITs lagged during this period, possibly due to their perceived stability and lower growth potential.
In the most recent 12-month period, REITs emerged as the best-performing asset class with a robust return of 21.3%. In contrast, large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap real estate stocks recorded negative returns, reflecting short-term market pressures despite long-term growth prospects.
