RealX's Ayodhya commercial land parcel of 31,646 sq ft (3516.22 sq yards) was valued at ₹10.40 crore, with 57 investors participating in the deal. Each investor invested between ₹50,000 to ₹25 lakh to acquire proportionate ownership rights in the property. Fundbezzie assisted RealX as a strategic partner in the deal.
The demand for fractional ownership is increasing in Ayodhya, driven by the growing tourism industry. According to Prudhvi Reddy, founder and CEO of Assetmonk, the fractional ownership model will involve a property being owned by six to eight co-owners, with a manager appointed to run the rental facility. The rental income will be divided equally among the co-owners.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has announced that it will regulate fractional ownership platforms offering real estate assets through small and medium REITs (SM REIT). Registration of existing FOPs and new ones is mandatory under SEBI. FOPs allow investors to participate in real estate ownership with fractional shares and minimum investment ranging from ₹10-25 lakh.
Several fractional ownership platforms have started the process of registering under SM REIT regulations. According to ICRA, around 520 lakh square feet of office space is eligible for small and medium REITs listing, creating a monetization opportunity of ₹67,000 to ₹71,000 crore.
RealX's CEO, Manish Kumar, said that the company's biggest challenge was securing a prime property in a seller's market. However, the company completed the transaction within the expected timeline and even subscribed to a portion of the deal themselves. The company's contribution is now available for sale on the platform, boosting confidence in the system.
The Indian fractional ownership market is poised for rapid growth, with an estimated market value of ₹4,500 billion by 2026. RealX's deal is a significant step forward in making high-value real estate accessible to a broader audience through fractional ownership and property tokenization.
