Commenting On New Fundraise
Saurabh Rathi, MD & Co-Head of real estate funds, MO Alts, said, “India’s real estate sector has shown remarkable resilience, underpinned by strong economic fundamentals, stable interest rates, and supportive government policies. In 2024, the residential market witnessed significant growth, a trend we expect to continue with increasing home loan deployments, declining interest rates, and infrastructure advancements. These favourable conditions align perfectly with our investment strategy and bolster our optimism for sustained growth in the sector.”
Vishal Tulsyan, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, MO Alts, said, “We see tremendous potential in bridging the capital gap at the early stages of real estate projects and have partnered with established developers in the country. As the sector continues its robust growth trajectory, we remain committed to delivering value and capitalizing on emerging opportunities.”
MO Alts launched its sixth real estate fund with a target of ₹2,000 crore and raised this capital from high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and corporates, including previous investors.
The platform currently manages six real estate funds and several standalone non-convertible debenture (NCD) investments, with total assets under management (AUM) in real estate exceeding ₹9,500 crore.
