Private equity investment in real estate rose sharply to $6.7 billion, underscoring renewed confidence in the sector amid improving fundamentals and selective value creation opportunities. The uptick reflects stronger deal flow across commercial office spaces, warehousing, logistics parks, and income-generating assets, supported by stable demand and disciplined pricing. Investors are increasingly favoring assets with long-term cash-flow visibility and resilience to economic cycles.

Private equity and venture capital investments recorded a robust 31 percent year-on-year increase in November, signaling renewed confidence among institutional investors amid improving market conditions. The rise was driven by a combination of large-ticket transactions, steady deal flow in technology and financial services, and a gradual easing of valuation concerns. Investors appeared more willing to deploy capital as macroeconomic uncertainties showed signs of stabilizing.

Global private equity firm Advent International has divested its stake in Cohance Lifesciences, generating proceeds of Rs 3,094 crore. The transaction reflects strong investor confidence in India’s pharmaceutical and life sciences sector, which continues to attract both domestic and international capital. Analysts note that the exit underscores Cohance’s robust operational performance, strategic positioning, and growth trajectory. The sale is expected to enable Advent to realize returns while providing liquidity for reinvestment.
