Bhavik Vora, Partner, Real Estate, Grant Thornton Bharat, said, "The quarter reflects a market that remains active but increasingly selective. Investors are prioritising assets that offer visibility of cash flows, execution certainty and resilience through cycles rather than pursuing scale for its own sake."
