Confidence in the residential sector is also high currently, and will remain constant on the back of strong continued homeownership sentiment.”
“In the retail segment, PE investments have remained subdued but are expected to gain momentum with physical shopping levels returning,” he says. “Thanks to the buoyant manufacturing sector, favourable government policies and the booming 3PL sector, high momentum is expected in the Industrial & Logistics sector in the future.”
