“India’s attractiveness as a global investment destination has strengthened, on account of the country’s political will to attract and protect investment growth. India’s inclusion in the top investment destination is a testament of this confidence,” Cushman & Wakefield managing director – India, Anshul Jain said. He said the country saw its best year in 2016, with private equity investments at the highest in 9 years. “Globally too, funds are revising their strategies to concentrate on specific growth circles. India’s office space provides great promise in this direction. Further, the core office markets in India provide stronger rental returns, as well as easier exit options, as against other sectors,” he added.

The report mentioned that in Asia-Pacific, which accounts for 30% of the global volume, China, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong, ranked in the top 10 target investment destinations globally, with Singapore and India a few spots behind at 12 and 15, respectively. The growing investment interest in Asia-Pacific, reflects the maturity and growth of opportunities across the region, as well as the prospects for attractive returns, the report stated.
“India’s strong showing in the rankings is a result of continued policy moves to institutionalise real estate investments in the country, with investors acquiring assets in anticipation of the introduction of REITs. Investments in the country’s office sector are expected to more than double this year, with many major acquisitions pending,” Jain added.
