Retail and alternative assets also saw a notable rise in investment inflows, cumulatively accounting for $0.5 billion, led by select large deals in H1 2025.
Vimal Nadar, National Director & Head of Research, Colliers India, says the residential segment continued its strong run, accounting for 31% of quarterly investments, driven by end-user demand, improved affordability, and renewed confidence from institutional investors. “The retail sector is also witnessing a steady revival, backed by rising consumption, rapid urbanisation, and evolving consumer lifestyle & spending patterns. With REITs and other institutional players actively scouting for quality retail assets across key markets, investment activity in this segment is expected to gain further traction in the coming quarters,” said Nadar.
