Private equity investments in the Indian real estate sector declined 4 per cent to USD 2.3 billion in the first half of this fiscal year due to lower inflow in office assets, according to Anarock. Real estate consultant Anarock noted that the total number of deals declined to 17 in April-September this year from 24 in the corresponding period of the preceding year. Shobhit Agarwal, MD & CEO of ANAROCK Capital, said, "Private equity investments in offices are primarily driven by foreign investors, which have tapered down due to global factors such as geopolitical tensions and elevated interest rates." However, he added that the aggregate numbers and the dominance of foreign investors in the Indian real estate remained largely stable due to the ADIA/KKR investment in the Reliance Retail warehousing assets. Private equity investments stood at USD 1.2 billion in the first half of 2020-21 fiscal; USD 2 billion in H1 2021-22; USD 2.8 billion in H1 2022-23; USD 2.4 billion in ...

"Nevertheless, the fact that sales remained higher than launches indicates that the demand-supply equation remains robust," Puri said. He pointed out that housing sales in the third quarter tapered down amid high prices and the monsoon season. "As always in this period, the 'shraad' period also suppressed demand to an ex

Real estate consultant Anarock Group has posted a 36 per cent increase in its revenue to Rs 566 crore in the last fiscal, helped by better earnings from housing brokerage and other services. During 2022-23, the company posted a revenue of Rs 416 crore. Homegrown Anarock was established by Anuj Puri in April 2017 after serving as country head for 10 years in an international property consultancy firm. In an interview with PTI, Anarock Chairman Puri said, "Real estate markets, particularly residential, across cities, are doing well with sales and launches at a 15-year high." Inherently, he said, this is being driven by a younger working population wanting to buy their first home rather than rent it. "...we are benefiting from this phenomenal growth in housing sales, having established our tech and digital platform," Puri said. All major business verticals contributed to the revenue growth last fiscal, he said. These include housing brokerage, retail, land, capital markets, strateg

The share of foreign capital in total investments declined to 65 per cent in FY24, against 76 per cent in the previous year.

Property consultant Anarock is expecting a 30 per cent growth in its revenue this fiscal year to around Rs 575 crore mainly driven by strong housing sales, its Chairman Anuj Puri said. Anarock, one of the leading real estate consultancy firms in India, was established by Puri in April 2017. "Our revenue will easily cross Rs 550 crore this financial year and may touch Rs 575 crore," Puri told PTI. Out of the total estimated revenue in 2023-24 fiscal, he said around Rs 400 crore will come from sales of residential properties on behalf of builders. Puri said residential sales in primary market (first sale) touched an all-time high in 2023 calendar year. The demand remains strong across all price points. "We expect demand to sustain in 2024 and beyond," he said, but cautioned that sales would be hit in case of abnormal price rise. Puri said the company also expects significant revenue from consultancy services in non-residential segments like leasing of retail and warehousing spaces
