India has emerged as a prominent destination for foreign investment in land and development projects, achieving the rank of third globally in 2024 according to a recent report by Colliers. This remarkable achievement is largely attributed to the significant investment directed towards the country’s industrial and warehousing sectors, which account for approximately 70% of the total foreign investment. The demand is primarily driven by logistics companies and manufacturers who are expanding their operations in key industrial zones across India.

Mr. Piyush Gupta, Managing Director of Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers India, noted that the growing interest from third-party logistics (3PL) and e-commerce players, combined with enhanced manufacturing capabilities across major industrial corridors, is bolstering investor confidence. This shift towards industrial and warehousing investments highlights the evolving landscape of India's economy, where logistics and manufacturing are becoming increasingly vital.

In the broader context, the Asia Pacific region has become a significant player in the global capital flow landscape, hosting four of the top ten global cross-border capital sources for land and development in 2024. Notable countries in this mix include Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and China. Specifically, Japan and China have established themselves as key global destinations for standing assets. Additionally, Australia has made its way into the top ten list of capital destinations, showcasing the increasing competition in the region.

According to Colliers' Global Capital Flows Report for the first half of 2024, China leads with an impressive US$ 36.48 billion in cross-border capital. Following China is Singapore with US$ 1.93 billion, and India with US$ 1.49 billion. India’s share of global capital has risen to 3.1%, underscoring its growing appeal to international investors. The report further reveals that institutional investor interest in Indian real estate remains robust, with an influx of US$ 3.5 billion during the first half of 2024.

Looking ahead, Colliers anticipates that India will continue to attract robust investment, driven by factors such as domestic demand, GDP growth, and easing monetary policies. The report also highlights an increasing interest from the broader Asia Pacific region, positioning India as a critical player in the global investment landscape.
