Buying a stairway to heaven
Economic Times – Apr 16, 2006
In the first three months of this year, PE investments have flowed into eight deals worth $350 million, according to a study by Venture Intelligence India. The PE players started closing deals after spending much of 2005 raising capital. Flush with funds now, they are looking for investment opportunities in real estate.
Says Arun Natarajan of Venture Intelligence India: ”The fact that real estate has emerged as the third most favourite industry for PE investments during this quarter — after IT & ITES and manufacturing — is a clear sign of things to come. This significant deal activity indicates that the PE firms and developers are working together actively to overcome issues like corporate governance that were initially considered major challenges to investments in this industry.”
