REITs were introduced in India in 2019, making it easier for individual investors to participate in the high-value commercial real estate market. By the end of FY25, they were managing over ₹1.63 lakh crore worth of premium properties. Additionally, they have distributed ₹22,800 crore to investors, demonstrating their financial robustness and reliability. The regulatory support from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Finance Ministry has played a crucial role in attracting both domestic and international investments, further solidifying the position of REITs in the investment landscape.
The rise of REITs in India has not only provided a new avenue for retail investors to diversify their portfolios but has also contributed to the overall growth and stability of the commercial real estate sector. With continued regulatory support and strong performance, REITs are expected to attract even more investors, driving further growth and development in the Indian real estate market.
For investors, REITs offer several advantages, including regular income through dividends, diversification, and the opportunity to invest in high-quality commercial properties without the need for large upfront capital. The success of REITs in India is a testament to the country's evolving financial ecosystem and the increasing sophistication of its capital markets.
As the real estate sector continues to evolve, REITs are likely to play an increasingly important role, providing a stable and attractive investment option for both retail and institutional investors. The future looks promising, and the ongoing growth of REITs is a clear indicator of the sector's resilience and potential.
