Foreign capital in India

Impact of Geopolitics on Indian Real estate

Developmental Finance in Real Estate

Meeting the Capital Demands of Developers - Structures, Gaps, and the Future of Funding

  • Capital Reality Check: Do current funding structures align with the actual development cycle of real estate projects?
  • Working Capital Woes: Is short-term, execution-stage finance still the biggest gap for developers?
  • Equity Overload: Are developers being forced to deploy unsustainable levels of equity upfront?
  • Flexible Finance: Are developers finally getting access to hybrid and milestone-based capital structures?
  • Voice from the Ground: Is the industry responding to what developers actually need - or just pushing investor-driven models?
3rd July, 16:00 - 17:00 | Breakout Discussion

Options for Green Financing in India

Foreign Banks, Domestic Lenders Or New concepts like Green REITs?

  • Green Capital Quest: Are Indian developers able to access sufficient green financing for sustainable projects?

REITs, IPOs & the Rise of Public Real Estate in India

Unlocking India’s Public Market for Institutional-Grade Assets

  • REIT Momentum: Are REITs truly unlocking long-term capital or just scratching the surface of India’s real estate potential?
  • IPO Surge: Is the public market ready to absorb a new wave of real estate listings?
  • Retail Reach: Can REITs and public listings bridge the gap between institutional assets and retail investors
  • Valuation Verdict: Do public markets fairly value real estate assets- or are developers better off staying private?
  • Next-Gen REITs: Will new formats like sector-specific and SM REITs deepen India’s listed real estate market?
3rd July, 17:30 - 18:30 | Breakout Discussions

AIFs 2.0 - From Capital Providers to Co-Creators

Are Investment Platforms Redefining the Developer-Investor Equation?

  • AIFs have evolved from mere capital providers to active co-creators in the development lifecycle.
  • Investment platforms are now influencing not just funding, but also design, execution, and strategy.
  • The use of hybrid capital structures is enabling AIFs to shape outcomes more directly than ever before.
  • Stronger governance and ESG focus are welcome shifts - but they come with increased investor oversight.
  • As AIFs take on strategic roles, developers must ask - what’s the cost of shared control?
