India has emerged as Asia’s leading destination for cross-border real estate investment, attracting $5.5 billion in foreign capital during the first nine months of 2026. This was approximately 50% higher than the $3.7 billion invested in mainland China during the same period, according to a report by property consultancy Savills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The growing investment reflects international institutions’ increasing interest in India’s commercial property market, particularly data centres, office buildings and development land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings were published in Savills’ Capital Signals: Asia Pacific Capital Markets Q4 2026<\/em> report.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Centres Attract $3.9 Billion in Investment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data centres have emerged as the biggest attraction for international real estate investors in India. The segment attracted $3.9 billion during the first nine months of 2026, nearly twice the capital deployed in the office segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing demand for data centre infrastructure is being driven by expanding cloud computing requirements, artificial intelligence workloads and digital services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global infrastructure operators, hyperscalers and institutional investors are increasing their presence in India. Companies such as AirTrunk and EQT have announced multi-billion-dollar development commitments, reflecting expectations of sustained demand for digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion of AI applications is also increasing the need for computing capacity, storage facilities and reliable power infrastructure, making data centres an important investment category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade A Office Properties Offer Yields of Up to 8%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s commercial office market is another major factor attracting foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Savills, Grade A office properties in India offer rental yields of approximately 7.75% to 8%, among the highest nominal returns in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office rentals are also increasing by around 7% to 8% annually, offering investors the possibility of additional income growth beyond initial rental yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong demand from businesses occupying premium office spaces has helped support rental growth and investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s urbanisation is another long-term driver. Only around 36% of the country’s population currently lives in cities, while approximately 12 million people are added to urban populations every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s Real Estate Market Records $14.3 Billion in Transactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s overall real estate transaction volume reached $14.3 billion over the past four quarters, including land acquisitions. This represented a 13% increase in dollar terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broader Asia-Pacific real estate market also recorded strong growth. Regional transaction volumes approached $200 billion during the first nine months of 2026, increasing 27% year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data centres recorded the strongest sectoral growth at 79%, followed by retail at 36%. Office, industrial and hotel transactions each increased by approximately 22%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can China Regain Investor Interest?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although India has moved ahead of China in cross-border real estate investment, Savills noted that international investors could return to the Chinese property market as valuations become more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, concerns surrounding oversupply continue to influence investment decisions in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For India, the combination of growing commercial property demand, competitive rental yields, urbanisation and digital infrastructure expansion is strengthening its position in the global real estate investment market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

India attracted $5.5 billion in cross-border real estate investment during the first nine months of 2026, surpassing China’s $3.7 billion. Data centres accounted for $3.9 billion, while Grade A offices offered yields of 7.75% to 8%. Growing demand for AI infrastructure, commercial property and urban development is strengthening India’s appeal to global investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
