There are also demands from local protestors to preserve the agricultural lands, which has led to a thinking in the government to declare the region as a green zone. The government, the minister added, was aware not all protesters were genuine farmers and some of them have already entered into agreements with big builders agreeing to sell their lands for real estate.

Private equity investments in Indian real estate surge 38% to $2.4 billion in H1 2025: Report
NEW DELHI: Private equity (PE) investments in the Indian real estate sector rose sharply to USD 2.4 billion (₹203 billion) during the first half (H1) of 2025, marking a 38% year-on-year (YoY) growth, according to a report by Savills India . The momentum accelerated in the April–June quarter (Q2 2025), with investment inflows doubling sequentially to USD 1.6 billion (₹139 billion), buoyed by strong investor appetite for commercial office assets, hospitality, and alternative segments like student housing. "There is a clear strategic shift towards portfolio diversification. Segments such as retail, hospitality, and student housing are increasingly drawing investor attention, reflecting the market's maturity and resilience," said Sumeet Bhatia, managing director (Capital Market Services), of the company. Commercial and alternative assets lead investment activity Commercial office assets accounted for approximately 31% of the total investment volume in Q2, maintaining their position as the dominant asset class. However, investor sentiment showed a marked shift toward high-growth potential in alternative real estate segments. Hospitality and student housing collectively captured 16% of the quarterly investment share, with hospitality alone contributing 15%. Land emerges as a key investment avenue Land transactions surged during H1 2025, contributing 40% of total PE inflows—significantly higher than 13% in full-year 2024 and 26% in 2023. Mumbai remained the top destination for land deals, commanding nearly 70% of land-related investments during the first half of 2025. Foreign capital remains dominant Foreign institutional investors continued to dominate India's private equity landscape in real estate, accounting for 76% of total inflows during H1 2025. This reaffirms global confidence in India's economic and urban infrastructure trajectory. Top deals highlight diversified investor focus The largest deal in Q2 2025 was Blackstone's USD 378 million investment in South City Mall, Kolkata—a major retail-focused transaction. Additionally, Sumitomo invested USD 295 million and Brookfield pumped in USD 151 million into MMRDA assets in Mumbai, underscoring a strategic alignment with India's infrastructure-driven urban growth.

US-EU tariff tensions: EU extends suspension of countermeasures to August; Germany urges 'serious, solution-oriented negotiations'
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday that the EU will continue holding off on retaliating against US steel and aluminium tariffs, as negotiations remain underway to avoid wider 30% duties. "The United States has sent us a letter with measures that would come into effect unless there is a negotiated solution, so we will therefore also extend the suspension of our countermeasures until early August," von der Leyen said. The EU's current pause on its retaliatory tariffs was due to expire between Monday night and Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, Germany's finance minister Lars Klingbeil stressed the bloc must be ready to act firmly if talks with Washington collapse. Speaking to Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Klingbeil said "serious and solution-oriented negotiations" were still needed, but if they fail, the EU must take "decisive counter-measures to protect jobs and businesses in Europe". His comments follow US President Donald Trump's Saturday announcement that the EU and Mexico would face 30% tariffs from August 1. He cited the US trade deficit with the EU as justification. Klingbeil warned the move would create "only losers" and would "threaten the American economy at least as much as businesses in Europe". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Искате да научите повече за новото BMW 2 Gran Coupe?

"Our hand remains outstretched but we won't accept just anything." He added that contingency measures in case of a breakdown in talks "must continue to be prepared". Earlier on Saturday, Donald Trump sent letters to EU and Mexico threatening them of imposing a 30% tariff citing trade deficit and fentanyl crisis, respectively. However, he also assured that there would be 'no tariff' if the EU, Mexico, or their companies choose to manufacture in the US, adding that the country would help fast-track approvals in such cases.
