The Bharat InvITs Association, the apex body representing Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) in India, has released its first consolidated industry update, offering a detailed snapshot of the sector’s performance and maturity. Presented by Chief Executive Officer Mr N. S. Venkatesh, the update highlights the evolution of InvITs as a robust infrastructure financing model within India's capital markets.

As of 31 March 2025, the total assets under management (AUM) of public and private listed InvITs stood at Rs7 trillion, showcasing over 1,000 per cent growth since 2019. Over the past year alone, AUM grew by 16.5 per cent, reflecting continued investor confidence and a solid pipeline of operational assets.

InvITs distributed Rs242.7 billion to unitholders in FY 2024–25, reinforcing their appeal as vehicles that offer predictable and stable cash flows. The sector’s combined market capitalisation reached Rs2.4 trillion, further underlining its significance within India's infrastructure investment landscape.

The number of unitholders rose to 280,000 as of March 2025, comprising a balanced mix of institutional, retail, and global investors. The industry spans over 250 infrastructure assets across 21 Indian states, covering vital sectors such as roads, power transmission, energy generation and storage, telecom, warehousing, supply chains, optical fibre networks, and pipelines.

Commenting on the developments, Mr Venkatesh said, “InvITs have emerged as a transparent and structured asset class, ideally suited to India's growing infrastructure financing needs. With stable returns, regulatory oversight, and increasing investor participation, they are set to play a critical role in achieving India’s infrastructure goals.”

The update by the Bharat InvITs Association marks a step forward in promoting transparency, fostering dialogue among stakeholders, and reinforcing InvITs’ role in India’s infrastructure growth story.
