Blackstone’s $11 billion investment in Mumbai 3.0 marks a transformative leap in India’s urban development, driving global attention, economic growth, and innovative city planning.

India's real estate investment trust (REIT) market grew 31% in 2023, the most in Asia-Pacific, despite a 7% fall overall the $252 billion Asian REIT industry. This increase bodes well for investors in India's young but growing REIT industry.

ASK Property Fund, the real estate private equity division of the Blackstone-backed ASK Asset & Wealth Management Group, has committed ₹190 crore to Kalpataru’s upper mid-income housing project in Borivali, a prominent Mumbai suburb.

The Blackstone Group is close to buying Adani Realty's Inspire BKC, a high-profile commercial real estate project on Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) fringes. The 800,000-square-foot office skyscraper is expected to cost the US private equity behemoth between Rs 1,800 crore and Rs 2,000 crore.

Nexus Select Trust, the Blackstone Group's retail arm, is poised to expand in India. The agreement to buy 1 million square feet of malls in Hyderabad from L&T Metro is valued at ₹1,100 crore. This massive purchase comprises the E-Galleria Mall in Moosarambagh, the L&T Metro Mall in Punjagutta.

CEO Gagan Banga emphasises investor base expansion and the consolidation of seven companies into the home finance company.

In one of North India's largest storage deals, Blackstone acquired 2.5 million square feet of Vertical Warehousing's properties near Delhi, according to Indian Warehouse sector sources.
