Foreign Investors Fulfill Earlier Commitments, Embrace REITs and InvITs

18 Mar 2024 CW Team

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have fulfilled their earlier commitments and are now showing increased interest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs). This shift in focus underscores FPIs' confidence in India's urban infrastructure and real estate sectors, signaling positive prospects for investment and development.

The active participation of FPIs in REITs and InvITs aligns with the Indian government's efforts to attract foreign investment and boost infrastructure development. It also reflects the growing maturity of India's capital markets and the attractiveness of REITs and InvITs as investment vehicles.

As FPIs wrap up earlier commitments and redirect their investments towards REITs and InvITs, stakeholders in the urban infrastructure and real estate sectors can anticipate increased capital inflows and enhanced liquidity. This trend bodes well for the development of critical infrastructure projects and the expansion of India's real estate market.

The embrace of REITs and InvITs by FPIs highlights the potential for these investment instruments to drive growth and innovation in India's urban infrastructure landscape. It also underscores the country's emergence as a preferred destination for foreign capital in the infrastructure and real estate sectors.
