Mumbai has emerged as the top destination for real estate equity investments in India, attracting $6.9 billion between calendar years 2022 and 2024, according to a new joint report by CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd. and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Titled ‘Bricks & Billions – Mapping the Financing Landscape of Real Estate’.

Together, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru drew $16.5 billion in equity inflows, representing a significant 62% share. This concentration reflects the strong presence of investment-grade assets, advanced urban infrastructure, skilled talent, and a maturing regulatory ecosystem in India’s gateway cities.
