Real Estate Trusts Boom in India!

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) in India are still at a developing stage but are expected to witness strong growth in the coming years. By 2030, these instruments are projected to attract investments worth ₹11.6 lakh crore. Institutional investors such as mutual funds, insurance companies, and pension funds are expected to contribute significantly, along with rising participation from high net worth individuals and retail investors.

The India InvITs Association (BIA) stated that InvITs distributed around ₹22,800 crore to unit holders in the last financial year (2025–26), taking the cumulative distribution to ₹91,000 crore. Currently, there are 26 InvITs in the country, of which 8 are listed on stock exchanges. Assets under management grew from ₹6.3 lakh crore in 2024–25 to ₹7.1 lakh crore in 2025–26.

During 2025–26, InvITs raised ₹1.97 lakh crore through equity issuance compared to ₹1.75 lakh crore in the previous year. The number of unit holders increased by nearly 2 lakh, with listed InvIT investors growing by 64%. The industry’s gross debt stood at ₹3.35 lakh crore as of March 31, 2026, highlighting rapid expansion in the infrastructure investment segment.
