WSB Partners Steps Into Tier-II Markets with ₹75 Crore Omaxe Bet

WSB Partners has expanded its presence in India’s non-metro real estate market with a ₹75 crore investment in Omaxe Limited, marking the firm’s entry into fast-growing Tier II property markets.

The investment is backed by residential plotted developments in Ujjain and Indore, both of which are witnessing rising demand driven by infrastructure growth, improving connectivity and expanding urban development.

According to the company, Tier II and III cities are increasingly drawing institutional investment due to rising household incomes, better affordability and sustained infrastructure spending. Industrial and spiritual corridors, enhanced transport connectivity and evolving social infrastructure are helping build self-sustaining local economies, while comparatively lower property prices and limited supply of branded developments continue to support end-user demand.

The capital infusion will primarily serve as growth funding, with part of the proceeds earmarked for working capital requirements and reserve strengthening. The investment, undertaken alongside affiliates of WSB Partners and co-investors, aligns with the firm’s strategy of partnering with established developers in high-growth emerging markets backed by strong execution capabilities and stable cash-flow visibility.

Omaxe Limited, a listed real estate developer with projects spanning residential, commercial, retail and integrated townships, maintains a strong presence across North and Central India and has delivered large-scale developments in multiple cities.

Commenting on the transaction, Rahul Rajendran said the investment reflects growing confidence in Tier II and III real estate markets, supported by infrastructure expansion and improving affordability trends. He added that WSB Partners is evaluating additional transactions with Omaxe across other cities.

Mohit Goel said the partnership enhances the company’s financial flexibility and supports its disciplined expansion strategy, adding that Tier II and III cities continue to offer significant long-term growth potential driven by infrastructure upgrades, better connectivity and aspiration-led housing demand.
