Real Estate Sees First Fall 

Real estate continued to account for the largest amount of AIF investment. However, investment in the sector fell to ₹87,969 crore in June 2026 from ₹1.29 trillion recorded up to March. 

This was the first decline in total real estate investments. At the same time, several other sectors saw higher investments during the quarter.

Investments in financial services, IT/ITeS, NBFCs, banks, pharmaceuticals and healthcare providers increased from March. 

Fundraising and SEBI Framework 

AIF commitments are generally drawn down in tranches by fund managers. These amounts are then reflected progressively in the funds raised. 

SEBI has made several changes to AIF fundraising and operations over the years. It is also considering a review of the accredited investor framework, which could change the process for onboarding investors.
