Co-Investments in Indian Realty Skyrocket 6.6X in Q3 2025 as Domestic Confidence Soars
Indian Real Estate Sees Record Surge in Co-Investment India’s real estate sector witnessed a remarkable upswing in the July–September 2025 quarter, with co-investments surging 6.6 times to reach $726.58 million, according to a report by real estate consultant Vestian. The surge highlights how global investors are collaborating with Indian developers to mitigate risk amid ongoing global uncertainties. This strategic partnership marks a major shift in investment patterns within the Indian property market.
Foreign Investors Turn to Local Partnerships While direct foreign investments declined sharply by 68%, from $436.47 million to $140.69 million, foreign players are increasingly opting for joint ventures with domestic developers. This approach allows them to navigate market complexities with local expertise. As a result, the share of co-investments has risen dramatically from 15% to 41% in the September quarter, signaling a strong preference for shared-risk investment models.
