Indian REITs Poised to Capture 30% of Institutional Real Estate by 2030
Indian Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have shown robust growth, currently delivering yields of 6-7%, higher than most other countries. A recent ANAROCK-CREDAI report predicts that by 2030, Indian REITs will account for 30% of institutional real estate, making them a significant global player.

Despite these impressive yields, Indian REITs currently represent only 20% of institutional real estate in India, a stark contrast to the 96% seen in the United States. This disparity suggests significant room for growth in the Indian market.
Launched in 2014, with the first listing occurring in 2019, Indian REITs have rapidly grown to a market cap of $18 billion as of August 2025. The ANAROCK-CREDAI report forecasts that by 2029, three more REITs will be launched, pushing the market cap past the $25 billion mark. This growth is expected to be driven by continued investment in top-grade office spaces, which have been the primary focus so far.
However, as cities and industries expand, experts like CREDAI President Shekhar Patel anticipate increased activity in retail, logistics, and housing. By 2030, the Indian REIT market is projected to cover up to 30% of institutional real estate, solidifying its position as a major player in the global real estate investment landscape.
The growth of Indian REITs is not just a testament to the robustness of the Indian economy but also to the increasing confidence of institutional investors in the country's real estate sector. As more investors recognize the potential of REITs, the market is expected to diversify and expand, offering a wider range of investment opportunities and contributing to the overall economic development of the country.
