India continues to establish its position as a top investment location in the Asia-Pacific area, with real estate investments in the nine main APAC markets in 2025 experiencing one of the greatest rates of growth.

According to Colliers’ assessment, total real estate investment amounts in nine major Asia Pacific marketplaces totaled $162 billion in 2025, an 8% increase from the previous year. The momentum picked up in the second half of the year as purchasers and sellers got closer on pricing expectations.

The report said that India and Singapore had the highest annual growth rates, at 35% and 29%, respectively, which is evidence of a strengthening market climate and increasing investment possibilities.

With foreign investors making up 43% of the $8. 5 billion inflows during the year, India has seen comparatively stronger cross-border capital movements, while domestic capital continues to fuel investment activity in the majority of APAC markets, according to Badal Yagnik, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Colliers India.

Office assets continued to dominate investment activity in Asia Pacific by sector, with a strong occupier demand for premium, well-located assets and a restricted new supply in prime central business district sites.

Retail investment increased 15% year over year as rising asset performance and consumer mood restored investor confidence. Led by robust institutional demand, alternative asset classes became the fastest-growing industry.

Institutional investments in Indian real estate are anticipated to continue to be strong until 2026, fueled by the robust economic growth outlook and continued need for premium properties.

According to Yagnik, “at the same time, the impact of global headwinds and ongoing trade talks will remain a key monitorable. ”

Institutional investors throughout most APAC markets, including India, continue to favor office assets above all others.

Reflecting continued occupier demand for institutional-grade assets, the industry accounted for the majority of real estate investments in five of the nine main APAC marketplaces in 2025.

Over half of all institutional inflows in the nation were made up of office investments in India alone, which totaled around $4. 5 billion for the year, according to Vimal Nadar, National Director, Research, Colliers India.
