According to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) have collectively mobilised an impressive Rs 1.3 lakh crore over a span of four years. This significant capital accumulation underscores the growing popularity and effectiveness of these investment instruments in the Indian market.

REITs and InvITs serve as innovative financing mechanisms, allowing investors to participate in real estate and infrastructure projects with relatively lower capital requirements compared to direct investments. The substantial mobilisation of Rs 1.3 trillion since their introduction highlights the confidence investors have placed in these instruments.

Their ability to attract substantial capital signifies the investor community's recognition of the potential returns and diversification benefits offered by these investment avenues.

Furthermore, the steady increase in mobilised funds over the years indicates a growing acceptance and understanding of REITs and InvITs among investors. This trend augurs well for the continued expansion and maturation of India's real estate and infrastructure markets, as these instruments facilitate investment flows and support development initiatives.
