Singapore-based CapitaLand Investment Ltd (CLI) announced its commitment to invest over ₹19,200 crore in Maharashtra's commercial real estate market by 2030, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the state government on August 12, 2025. The significant capital infusion will be directed towards business parks, data centres, logistics, and industrial infrastructure, strengthening the company's long-term growth strategy in India.

Comprehensive Investment Framework Outlined

The investment blueprint reveals a substantial five-year commitment focused on Mumbai's commercial property market and Pune's real estate landscape. The ₹19,200 crore allocation will span across multiple sectors including business parks, logistics hubs, industrial parks, and state-of-the-art data centres. CapitaLand has outlined ambitious growth targets, aiming to increase India funds under management from S$8 billion to S$15 billion by 2028 through listed trusts, private funds, and joint ventures.

Established Maharashtra Operations Demonstrate Track Record

The company's existing Maharashtra footprint showcases a strong foundation for expansion, with 10 properties acquired since 2013 representing ₹6,800 crore in investment. Currently, CapitaLand operates 5 business parks encompassing 9.7 million square feet of leasable space, with an additional 4.5 million square feet in the development pipeline. The logistics and warehousing segment spans 6.5 million square feet operational space, with a massive 17 million square feet under development to serve e-commerce, manufacturing, and third-party logistics clients.

Data Centre Expansion Marks Strategic Technology Infrastructure Push

As part of this expansion drive, CLI launched its first Navi Mumbai data centre, marking the company's entry into India's rapidly growing data infrastructure sector. This initiative aligns with the increasing demand for digital infrastructure and positions CapitaLand to capitalize on India's digital transformation.

Market Positioning and Economic Impact

The investment positions CapitaLand as a leading foreign investor in India's commercial property market, while aligning with Maharashtra's infrastructure and industrial growth plans. The expansion is expected to support job creation, boost high-value office supply, and strengthen the logistics backbone of Western India's two most dynamic urban markets. This development is particularly significant for India's real estate investment landscape, reinforcing the country's position as an attractive destination for international capital.
