REITs and InvITs Assets Under Management Expected to Soar
REITs and InvITs are investment tools in India.
They're like ways for people to invest in real estate and infrastructure without directly owning the buildings or projects.
The total value of assets managed by these investment types has grown a lot in the last nine years and is expected to grow even more by 2030.
There are many listed and unlisted REITs and InvITs.
Listed REITs have a market cap of Rs 1.5 lakh crore.
These investments provide income to investors.
REITs invest in real estate while InvITs invest in infrastructure.
Both provide stable income to investors.
Combined Assets Under Management (AUM) of REITs and InvITs have crossed Rs 9 lakh crore.
Industry bodies project AUM to reach Rs 25 lakh crore by 2030.
