The real estate and infrastructure investment trusts (REITs and InvITs) have proven to be robust vehicles for raising capital, accumulating an impressive Rs 1.3 trillion over the span of four years, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This significant mobilisation underscores the growing popularity and effectiveness of these investment instruments in the Indian market.
REITs and InvITs serve as innovative financing mechanisms, enabling investors to participate in real estate and infrastructure projects with relatively lower capital requirements compared to direct investments. The cumulative mobilisation of Rs 1.3 trillion since their introduction highlights the confidence investors have placed in these instruments.
The data underscores the significant role that REITs and InvITs play in channelling funds into the real estate and infrastructure sectors, fostering development and growth. Their ability to attract substantial capital reflects the investor community's recognition of the potential returns and diversification benefits offered by these investment avenues.
Moreover, the steady increase in mobilised funds over the years suggests a growing acceptance and understanding of REITs and InvITs among investors. This trend bodes well for the continued expansion and maturation of India's real estate and infrastructure markets, as these instruments continue to facilitate investment flows and support development initiatives.
