Institutional investments in Indian real estate are set to decrease by 37% to USD 3.06 billion during the initial half of this year, as global economic uncertainties persist, according to a report by JLL.

JLL India's data indicates that foreign investors' share in these investments is substantial, totaling 68%, while domestic contributions account for 32% in the first half of 2025. The extended timelines for investment transactions are attributed to international economic conditions and political uncertainties, as pointed out by the consultant.

Despite the short-term challenges, the Indian real estate market continues to draw investment as a compelling destination due to its robust economic fundamentals, which remain resilient amid global turbulence. This is coupled with a promising pipeline of deals exceeding USD 1 billion, suggesting sustained activity in the sector.
