·       Office segment drove 1/3^rd of the total inflows at USD 0.4 Bn, followed by Industrial & warehousing and residential assets at 0.3 Bn each

·       Domestic investments surged by 75% on an annual basis, driving 60% of the total inflows in Q1 2025

·       Mumbai followed by Bengaluru attracted majority of the real estate investments in Q1 2025

Gurgaon, 03 April 2025: Institutional investments in Indian real estate have seen a strong start to 2025, with inflows reaching USD 1.3 billion in the first quarter—a 31% year-on-year (YoY) increase. This growth was primarily driven by domestic investments, which accounted for 60% of the total inflows during the quarter. With USD 0.8 billion inflows, domestic investments saw a 75% annual rise and were largely focused on industrial & warehousing and office segments.

Office segment drove one-third of the institutional inflows during the first quarter of 2025, at USD 0.4 billion worth of investments. Hyderabad attracted over half of the total inflows in the office segment in Q1 2025. At the India level, Industrial & warehousing and residential segments too witnessed significant traction, cumulatively accounting for 47% of the total inflows during Q1 2025.

"Institutional investors in Indian real estate continue to exhibit confidence, as investments rose by 31% YoY to USD 1.3 billion in Q1 2025. This growth highlights the resilience of the Indian real estate and the untapped opportunities it presents. Both foreign and domestic investors remained committed towards core assets, with office, residential and industrial & warehousing segments cumulatively accounting for 80% of the institutional investments in Q1 2025. The momentum is expected to persist through 2025, supported by strong economic growth prospects, robust demand across asset classes and optimistic business sentiment. Anticipated easing of monetary policy in the near future and proactive government policies are likely to ensure capital deployment in both core and alternative real estate assets throughout the year,” said Badal Yagnik, Chief Executive Officer, Colliers India.

Trends in institutional investment inflows (USD million) –

Asset Class	Q1 2024	Q4 2024	Q1 2025	Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 (% YoY Change)	Q1 2025 vs Q4 2024 (% QoQ change)

Residential investments surge in Q1 2025, ~3X times compared to Q1 2024

During Q1 2025, institutional investments in the residential segment was almost thrice the inflows in the corresponding period of 2024. The segment with USD 0.3 billion inflows, accounted for 23% of the total quarterly investments, almost at par with the inflows in industrial & warehousing segment. Interestingly, foreign investments accounted for over half of the total inflows in residential segment during the quarter, led by select large deals.

"Residential real estate in India has been witnessing strong end user demand in recent years. Institutional investments in the segment grew multi-fold to the tune of USD 0.3 billion during Q1 2025, on an annual basis. Amidst evolving capital deployment trends, leading global investors are increasingly partnering with domestic developers, forming joint venture platforms to capitalize on growing opportunities in the residential segment. Sustained growth in residential prices, rising demand for luxury housing, and ongoing infrastructure developments will continue to boost institutional investments in residential real estate in the upcoming quarters. Concurrently, likely reduction in repo rates can potentially fuel residential demand and thereby investments in mid & affordable housing as well," said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director & Head of Research, Colliers India.

In continuation to the growth momentum set in 2024, the Industrial & warehousing segment also saw over USD 0.3 billion of investments in Q1 2025, a notable 73% YoY increase. Improved investor confidence is reiterated by strong performance of high frequency macro-economic indicators including Manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) and Index of Industrial Production (IIP). India’s Manufacturing PMI touched 58.1 in March 2025, the highest since mid-2024 indicating strong expansion in the manufacturing sector, driven by robust demand, increased production output, and improved business confidence.

Investments in alternate assets remained healthy at USD 0.07 billion during the quarter. Amongst alternate assets, data centers particularly witnessed strong traction in Q1 2025, led by capital deployment in a proposed hyperscale data center in Mumbai.

Mumbai followed by Bengaluru attracted majority of the inflows in Q1 2025

While multi-city deals corresponded to an overall 31% share, Mumbai, with about USD 0.3 billion inflows accounted for 22% of the real estate investments in the country during Q1 2025. Bengaluru and Hyderabad followed closely with 20% and 18% share respectively.

Ishq Jabariya Actor Aditya Syal Opens Up About His Acting Journey: I Would Mimic Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar

While some stumble upon their passion, others seem born for it—like Aditya Syal, who plays Vyom in Ishq Jabariya on Sun Neo. Aditya’s journey into entertainment began long before he stepped onto a television set, and he recently shared how it all started.

Speaking about the artistic influence his family had on him, Aditya said, “My father was involved in theatre in Nainital, working with renowned artists such as Nirmal Pandey and acclaimed NSD actors like Idris Malik. So, I grew up in a household filled with creativity. Since childhood, I’ve been doing voice-overs, mimicking famous actors, capturing their voices, and closely observing people around me. Sometimes, I would mimic Amitabh Bachchan, sometimes Farhan Akhtar, and sometimes even my teachers and friends. My journey started with imitation, but over time, I became serious about acting.”

Recalling an early moment that ignited his passion, Aditya shared a fond childhood memory: “When I was in fifth grade, I visited Mumbai during my holidays. At the time, there was a popular show called Boogie Woogie, and my father’s friend, who was a writer for the show, noticed my playful nature. He said, ‘Your son is very mischievous; I think he should say a fun punchline about Nag Panchami as a filler with Javed Jaffrey and Naved.’ I was thrilled and immediately agreed! When I performed, it was done perfectly in just one take. That day, I felt an undeniable excitement, a spark that hinted at my future in acting.”

The Ishq Jabariya actor also shared the moment he realized the power of being on screen: “After my three-month winter vacation in Mumbai, I returned to school, and my classmates told me, ‘Hey, we saw you on Boogie Woogie!’ That was the moment I understood how even a small appearance on television could leave an impact. I thought, ‘If such a tiny role can make a difference, imagine what would happen if I pursued this seriously.’ Thankfully, my family supported me. My mother was also into English theatre—she performed in plays by Anton Chekhov and Shakespeare and had a passion for modeling as well. So, I guess, from both sides, art and creativity were always in my blood.”

Ishq Jabariya, airing on Sun Neo at 10:00 PM, is an engaging love story centered around Gulki, a determined young woman with big aspirations. The show boasts a stellar cast, including Kamya Panjabi, Dipshikkha Nagpal, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshay Khurana in key roles, bringing depth and emotion to this captivating narrative.

Watch Ishq Jabariya on Sun Neo, airing daily at 10:00 PM, and witness Vyom’s journey unfold.

FDCI presents Samant Chauhan at Moscow Fashion Week

Moscow Fashion Week में छह दिनों के दौरान, रूस, इंडोनेशिया, अमेरिका, दक्षिण अफ़्रीका, चीन, स्पेन और अन्य देशों के डिज़ाइनर्स ने अपने बेहतरीन कलेक्शन के साथ कैटवॉक की शोभा बढ़ाई। इस व्यस्त कार्यक्रम में 90 से ज़्यादा बेहतरीन शो शामिल थे, जिसमें 200 से ज़्यादा ब्रांड्स ने कई इनोवेटिव फ़ॉर्मेट्स में अपने क्रिएशन्स को प्रदर्शित करने के लिए Moscow Fashion Week को सही मंच के रूप में चुना।

इस सीज़न में, दो मशहूर भारतीय ब्रांड्स, FDCI presents: CoEK - Khadi India and Samant Chauhan, ने Moscow Fashion Week में अपने कलेक्शन का अनावरण किया। CoEK - Khadi India मटेरियल की क्वालिटी पर खास ज़ोर देता है, जो तेज़ी से उभरते देश में एक अहम पहलू, कर्तव्यनिष्ठ फ़ैशन के लोकाचार को दर्शाता है। बेजोड़ सार से भरपूर इस आकर्षक कलेक्शन ने अपने जीवंत, बहु-स्तरीय डिज़ाइनों से मॉस्को के दर्शकों को मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया। कपास, ऊन और रेशम के बेहतरीन फ़्यूशन से बेहतरीन क्रिएशन्स तैयार हुए, जिन्होंने सभी को मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया। शो के अनूठे माहौल में संगीतमय संगत ने और भी समां बांध दिया, जिसने भारत की एक आकर्षक यात्रा की सैर करा दी। 

Samant Chauhan के कलेक्शन ने अपनी बेहतरीन शिल्पकला से मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया, जिसमें शानदार मटेरियल, जटिल परतें, नाज़ुक लेस फ़ैब्रिक्स, जड़े हुए कपड़े और रेशम की कढ़ाई शामिल है। “रूस में विविध फ़ैशन प्रभावों के लिए प्रशंसा बढ़ रही है, और हम भारतीय शिल्प कौशल और रूसी सौंदर्यशास्त्र के बीच एक मज़बूत तालमेल देखते हैं। बाज़ार उन ब्रांड्स के लिए रोमांचक अवसर पेश करता है जो पेचीदा बारीकियां, सतत प्रथाओं और सांस्कृतिक कहानी कहने पर ज़ोर देते हैं—ऐसे आदर्श जो हमारे ब्रांड को परिभाषित करते हैं। हमारा मानना है कि भारतीय फ़ैशन रूस में एक अनूठी जगह प्राप्त कर सकता है, जो विरासत को समकालीन शैली के साथ मिलाता है,” Samant Chauhan ने कहा। 

Moscow Fashion Week नवाचार के एक प्रकाश स्तंभ के रूप में सामने आया है, जो उभरते क्षेत्रों की फ़ैशन अर्थव्यवस्थाओं को नई ऊंचाइयों पर ले गया है। ये गौरवपूर्ण वैश्विक मंच न केवल प्रतिभागियों को अपनी विशिष्ट सांस्कृतिक विरासतों को उजागर करने के लिए एक स्पॉटलाइट प्रदान करता है, बल्कि परंपरा को ट्रेंड सेट करने वाले स्वभाव के साथ मिलाते हुए समकालीन फ़ैशन के मॉडर्न लेंस के ज़रिये उन्हें कलात्मक तरीके से प्रस्तुत करता है।

Moscow Fashion Week में डिज़ाइनर्स हलचल भरे महानगरों की जीवंत ऊर्जा के साथ-साथ प्रकृति की शांत सुंदरता से प्रेरणा लेते हैं। जैसे कि, रूसी ब्रांड White Ocean को ही लें, जिसका आउटरवियर कलेक्शन क्लासिक सिल्हूट को आकर्षक कट्स, स्टेटमेंट शोल्डर और शहरी निवासियों द्वारा पसंद की जाने वाली ज़रूरी लेय ब्रांड के ईथर डाउन जैकेट और बहुमुखी डबल-साइडेड कोट स्टाइल और कार्यक्षमता का प्रतीक हैं, जो अप्रत्याशित मौसम की स्थिति के लिए एकदम सही हैं। Moscow Fashion Week का एक और बेहतरीन प्रदर्शन, Les Noms, प्रकृति के जटिल आकार और मिट्टी के रंगों से प्रेरित है, तथा उन्हें महिलाओं और पुरुषों दोनों के लिए विषम ड्रेप किए हुए ड्रेस, लहराते बॉम्बर्स, व सुंदर किमोनो जैसे बेहतरीन कृतियों में परिवर्तित करता है
