India’s REIT and InvIT Market Eyes ₹11.6 Lakh Crore
A report says India’s REIT and InvIT investments could receive much more money by 2030.
REITs and InvITs let people invest in income-producing property and infrastructure assets.
The total possible new investment is estimated at ₹11.6 lakh crore.
Mutual funds are expected to provide the largest share.
Insurance companies and pension funds could also invest large amounts.
These investors often look for steady, long-term returns.
The report says institutions are currently using only a small part of the limits allowed for these investments.
New rules, exchange-traded funds and global index inclusion could make it easier for more investors to participate.
The report says this could help India develop a deeper market for these assets.
A report estimates India’s REIT and InvIT market could attract ₹11.6 lakh crore in fresh capital by 2030.
Mutual funds could provide ₹4.5 lakh crore, insurers ₹3.2 lakh crore and pension funds ₹2.2 lakh crore.
Retail and HNI investors may contribute ₹1.2 lakh crore, while foreign investors and corporate treasuries could add ₹30,000 crore and ₹20,000 crore.
Domestic long-duration institutions currently use about 7.5% of their regulatory limits for REITs and InvITs; full utilisation could redirect nearly ₹7 lakh crore.
Potential catalysts include expanded EPFO access, higher insurance allocations, REIT/InvIT ETFs and inclusion in global indexes.
