On the other hand, residential (debt + equity) real estate assets in Hyderabad have received investments worth $11 million (about Rs 80 crore) with two major deals during the quarter.

It is pertinent to note that Hyderabad has attracted $2,866 million (over Rs 21,000 crore) in private equity investment in office space with 16 deals since 2011, out of the total 87 deals attracted by the top cities of India. The city stands second in the country in the number of deals attracted during the period following Mumbai at the top with 22 deals.

Hyderabad also attracted investments to the tune of $197 million (over Rs 1,400 crore) with two deals in the retail sector since 2011.

National scenario

Knight Frank India, in its report, showed that Indian real estate attracted private equity (debt and equity) investments of $3,241 million (about Rs 24,000 crore) across 19 deals in Q1 2021 period. In the first quarter of 2021, the investment in the sector has grown by 16 times compared to $199 million (over Rs 1,400 crore) in Q1 2020.

The investments in Q1 2021 in value terms were about 80 percent of that witnessed in full-year 2020 and about 48 percent of full-year 2019. The strong momentum in Q1 2021 was driven by the spillover of certain deals from 2020 and the rise in investor confidence due to the drop in Covid-19 infections during the early parts of Q1 2021, which had created some ripples of positivity in the economy.

Of the total PE investments in real estate, the office segment attracted 71 per cent share, followed by retail at 15 per cent, residential and warehousing with seven per cent each, respectively.
