India Leads Asia Pacific Real Estate Investment; REITs & InvITs Crucial for Future Growth
India is the top destination for real estate investment in Asia Pacific, with $5.7 billion invested in 2025.
Offices and homes are the most popular investments.
To grow its economy, India needs to use Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to build more infrastructure.
Right now, India has only a small number of these trusts, but they could be worth $1 trillion if the country expands them.
India attracted an estimated $5.7 billion in real estate investment in 2025, leading the Asia Pacific region
Office and residential segments expected to account for nearly 60% of 2025's total investments
REITs and InvITs identified as critical for India's infrastructure growth and economic rise
India has only 27 InvITs managing assets worth roughly $81 billion, considered 'minuscule' for its potential
Amitabh Kant urges India to target $1 trillion in REIT and InvIT assets, a 13 to 15 times expansion
