Private equity (PE) investments in Indian real estate rose 23% year-on-year to $2.7 billion in the first half of FY27, from $2.2 billion in the corresponding period last year, according to the latest Flux report by Anarock. The inflows mark the strongest first-half performance since H1 FY23, despite geopolitical tensions and elevated global interest rates, the consultant said. The $2.7-billion inflow in H1 FY27 was already equivalent to about 63% of the $4.3 billion invested during the whole of FY26. Deal activity also widened, with 30 transactions recorded during the six-month period against 22 a year earlier. The average deal size rose 18% to $91 million.
