The GRI Funding Opportunities India 2025 summit brought together some of India’s most influential developers, investors, and senior decision-makers to explore the evolving landscape of the real estate sector.

What’s inside the GRI Funding Opportunities India 2025 report?
Capital Availability: India’s real estate market has seen a surge in capital, driven by increased private equity involvement. However, capital remains concentrated among larger players, with smaller developers facing tougher terms, though equity financing is offering more flexibility and long-term opportunities.
Pre-Approval & Post-Approval Funding: The gap between pre-approval and post-approval funding still impacts smaller developers, who increasingly rely on informal financing and joint ventures to overcome limited access to capital for land acquisition and project planning.
The Evolution of AIFs: Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are evolving from passive capital providers to active partners, offering funding and project management expertise to help developers navigate complexities and align goals.
Foreign Investment: Global interest in India’s real estate market is on the rise, with investors engaging more directly in development projects. However, challenges such as regulatory complexity and political uncertainties remain.
Financialisation Opportunities: Real estate financialisation, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), is providing new investment opportunities without the risks of direct ownership, though retail participation remains limited due to a lack of awareness.
Providing a comprehensive view of India’s real estate sector, the GRI Funding Opportunities India 2025 report explores the role of capital flows and investment trends in unlocking new opportunities for development and growth as the country continues its ascent.
