Indian REITs Disburse Over Rs 2,450 Crore to Unitholders in Q3 FY26
The five publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in India have collectively distributed over Rs 2,450 crore to more than 3.8 lakh unitholders during the third quarter of the current financial year.
Listed REITs include Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust.
The Indian REITs Association, in a press release, said that together, these five REITs manage a portfolio spanning over 185 million square feet of Grade A office and retail space across India. Since inception, they have cumulatively distributed over Rs 29,100 crore to unitholders, highlighting their growing significance in India’s capital markets. As of Q3 FY26, the total gross Assets Under Management (AUM) of the Indian REIT market stands at over Rs 2.50 lakh crore.
Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director & CEO of Brookfield India Real Estate Trust and Chairperson of the Indian REITs Association, said, “The Indian REIT sector continues to show strong and stable performance, supported by steady demand for high-quality office and retail assets across key markets. Healthy leasing activity, improving occupancy, and rental growth reflect the strength of India’s commercial real estate ecosystem. The recent regulatory/government proposals, such as allowing banks to lend directly to REITs and dedicated REITs for Central Public Service Enterprises (CPSEs), are expected to further boost the sector by providing stable, long-term capital and expanding access to high-quality assets.”
The Indian REITs Association (IRA) is a non-profit industry body established with the support of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Ministry of Finance. The IRA aims to promote the growth of the REIT sector in India and ensure regulatory compliance and best practices among its members.
REITs have become a crucial component of India’s capital markets, offering investors a diversified and stable income stream. The sector's robust performance and the government's supportive measures are expected to attract more institutional and retail investors, further solidifying the position of REITs in the Indian real estate landscape.
