Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust collectively manage more than 129 million square feet of Grade A office and retail space. Since their inception, these REITs have distributed over Rs 24,300 crore to investors, a release stated.
“This rise in quarterly distribution marks a strong start to the fiscal year and reflects Indian REITs' continued commitment to delivering regular and stable cash flows,” said Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director & CEO of Brookfield India Real Estate Trust and Chairman of the Indian REITs Association (IRA).
The combined market capitalisation of the four REITs crossed Rs 1 lakh crore as of July 30, 2025, underscoring the sector's robust growth trajectory. As of Q4 FY'25, their total gross Assets Under Management stood at about Rs 1.63 lakh crore, the release added.
The Indian REITs Association (IRA) is a non-profit industry body supported by SEBI and the finance ministry. It identifies Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust as its founding members. The IRA plays a crucial role in advocating for the growth and development of the REIT sector in India, ensuring that regulatory frameworks support the interests of both investors and the industry.
The strong performance of these REITs is a testament to the growing confidence in the Indian real estate market. The consistent and stable cash flows generated by these trusts attract a wide range of investors, from individual retail investors to institutional players. The sector's ability to weather economic challenges and deliver consistent returns is a key factor in its appeal.
As the Indian economy continues to grow, the demand for Grade A office and retail space is expected to rise, further bolstering the performance of REITs. The government's initiatives to promote the real estate sector, including the introduction of REITs, have played a significant role in this growth. The sector is poised for continued expansion, with more REITs likely to enter the market in the coming years.
For investors, the robust performance of REITs offers a unique opportunity to diversify their portfolios and benefit from the strong fundamentals of the Indian real estate market. The consistent distribution of cash flows and the potential for capital appreciation make REITs an attractive investment option.
