Over $20 billion PE money waiting on sidelines to invest in India Real Estate

There have been significant fund raising announcements of >US20B made over the last two years for investing in Indian real estate. Even thought the overall amount is huge, note that a big proportion of funds have yet been deployed as yet.

As a word of caution, in the current market, it is not inconceivable that the draw down facility many PE players use for funding new projects could be dry up or be materially reduced as their investors can back out of their capital commitments. According to news reports, there are over 15 private equity deals across sectors that have been called off since December. Some of the key ones include Citi Venture’s investment in Akruti City and ICICI Ventures’ investment in Jaypee Infratech.

Here is a list of funds with the amount of money raised to invest in Indian Real Estate.
The present may look gloomy due to high input costs, rising interest rates and lack of cash but the future holds good with over $20 billion waiting on the sidelines.
