India’s rapidly evolving real estate sector is set to take centre stage at Excelerate 2026, a one‑day international conclave on real estate investment and financing to be held at the Trident Hotel in Mumbai on 2 April 2026. Organised by NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen, the event will bring together developers, investors, policymakers and financial institutions to examine capital flows and growth prospects for the country’s built‑environment markets.
The conclave will open with a theme address by Prashant Sharma, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra, followed by a special address from Vikas Jain, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen. Other speakers include Sandeep Runwal, Vice Chairman of NAREDCO Maharashtra, Rajan Bandelkar, former Vice Chairman of NAREDCO India, Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman Emeritus of NAREDCO Maharashtra, and Atit Shah, Honorary Secretary of NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen.
Since 2014, India’s real estate sector has experienced a structural shift, driven by reforms such as RERA, the rationalisation of GST, and supportive Reserve Bank of India policies. These changes have strengthened transparency, governance and investor confidence, propelling record property sales and a surge in institutional capital that has more than doubled in the past four years and is expected to double again over the next four. Foreign capital now accounts for over half of total inflows.
Real estate companies raised over ₹26,000 crore in public markets in the 12 months to July 2025, while the sector absorbed nearly 15 per cent of cumulative net investments by Alternative Investment Funds—₹73,903 crore in FY2025.
The rise of REITs, InvITs and other structured vehicles has widened the funding base for developers and asset owners. With panel discussions on family offices, private equity, sustainability, branded residences and REITs, Excelerate 2026 aims to catalyse partnerships and strategies for the next phase of India’s real estate growth.
