NEW DELHI: In the third quarter of FY26, India’s five listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) distributed over ₹2,450 crore to more than 3.8 lakh unitholders.
The listed REITs—Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust—collectively manage a portfolio exceeding 185 million sq ft of grade-A office and retail real estate nationwide.
Since their respective launches, these REITs have cumulatively disbursed over ₹29,100 crore to unitholders, demonstrating the growing prominence of this investment vehicle in India’s capital markets. As of Q3 FY26, the total gross assets under management (AUM) in the Indian REIT sector amounted to over ₹2.5 lakh crore.
Alok Aggarwal, chairperson of the Indian REITs Association, remarked that the sector’s performance is bolstered by strong leasing activity and occupancy rates in commercial real estate. He also indicated that recent policy initiatives, such as allowing banks to lend directly to REITs and plans for specialized REITs for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs), could enhance access to long-term capital and further develop the market.
