Dalal Street Set to Welcome 6th REIT: Knowledge Realty Trust IPO Launches on August 5
Real Estate Mumbai:Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT), a joint venture between Bengaluru-based Sattva Group and global investment firm Blackstone, is set to launch its Rs 4,800 crore Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) initial public offering (IPO) on August 5. The bidding window for this three-day IPO will close on August 7.

This marks the entry of the sixth REIT into Dalal Street, joining the ranks of existing REITs such as Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Brookfield India Real Estate Trust REIT, and Nexus Select Trust. PropShare Titania is also expected to list on the stock exchanges tentatively on August 4.

The IPO price band has been set at Rs 95 to Rs 100 per unit, and the offering consists entirely of a fresh issue of units worth Rs 4,800 crore. The book-building process will be conducted in accordance with SEBI REIT regulations. Retail investors will need to invest a minimum of Rs 15,000, with a lot size of 150 units and bids in multiples thereafter.

KRT’s portfolio includes marquee assets such as One BKC and One World Center in Mumbai, Cessna Business Park and Sattva Softzone in Bengaluru, and Knowledge City and Knowledge Park in Hyderabad. The REIT boasts a diverse tenant base, including large multinational corporations, global capability centers, and leading domestic firms. In the fiscal year 2025, its net operating income stood at Rs 3,432 crore.

Initially, KRT had planned a Rs 6,200 crore issue but raised Rs 1,400 crore from anchor investors last month, bringing the IPO size down to Rs 4,800 crore. Post-listing, Blackstone and Sattva will continue to jointly own around 80 percent of the REIT. KRT’s entry further solidifies India’s REIT landscape, which now manages over 126 million square feet of rent-yielding real estate and has distributed more than Rs 21,000 crore to unitholders.

The IPO allocation will reserve up to 75 percent for institutional investors and a minimum of 25 percent for non-institutional investors, excluding the strategic investor portion.
