India’s four publicly listed REITs are Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust. This landmark achievement reflects strong confidence from both institutional and retail investors in India’s formal commercial real estate sector. It also signals increasing depth and liquidity in the REIT market, making it an attractive and efficient investment instrument for investors seeking stable, income-generating assets.
The impressive rise in market capitalisation has been supported by sustained investor interest, healthy occupancy levels across underlying properties, consistent distributions to unitholders, and enabling regulatory reforms. As a result, REITs are now firmly positioned as a mainstream asset class in India’s capital markets, offering a compelling alternative to traditional investment vehicles. Since their introduction in 2019, REITs have transformed access to income-generating real estate assets. They provide investors with a transparent, regulated, and liquid structure to participate directly in the country’s dynamic real estate growth story.
Mr. Alok Aggarwal, MD & CEO of Brookfield India Real Estate Trust and Chairman of the Indian REITs Association, said, “We welcome this significant milestone as evidence of the sector’s resilience, maturity, and potential. This fiscal year has commenced on a strong footing, driven by robust leasing momentum, high occupancy levels, and sustained growth in distributions for the sector. This positive start positions us well for another successful year. As REITs continue to scale and attract long-term capital, their growing market capitalisation is expected to further enhance liquidity—benefiting issuers through improved access to capital, and investors through increased trading volumes and tighter spreads.”
According to the Q4 FY25 data, India’s REIT market manages gross Assets Under Management (AUM) exceeding ₹1.63 lakh crore. The four REITs collectively operate over 128 million square feet of Grade A office and retail real estate across India’s key urban centres. Since their respective inceptions, these REITs have distributed a cumulative total of over ₹22,800 crore to unitholders, underlining their growing appeal among both institutional and retail investors.
