India's REITs Hit Record Market Cap; Experts See More Listings Ahead

Reported By : Last Updated: August 12, 2025, 17:34 IST News18 The Indian Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) market has crossed a major milestone, with the combined market capitalisation of all four listed REITs —Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust—surpassing Rs 1 lakh crore as of July 30, 2025. A REIT is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate. In India, listed REITs allow investors—both big and small—to buy units (similar to shares) and earn income from the rent, lease, or sale of commercial properties like office spaces, malls, and hotels. According to Ms. Binitha Dalal , Founder & Managing Partner at Mt. K Kapital, SEBI's recent reforms—such as lowering minimum investment sizes, easing listing conditions, and expanding eligible assets—are paving the way for a broader range of sponsors and asset classes, from logistics parks to data centres . 'We could see new listings beyond traditional office spaces, making REITs far more inclusive and accessible to retail investors," she said, adding that tax alignment with equities could further accelerate participation. Arpit Bansal, CEO & Founder of La Wisteria, sees the boom in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) as a key catalyst. 'GCCs have accounted for nearly 28–29% of India's gross leasing volume, with REIT landlords absorbing up to 60% of this demand. This is directly driving a pipeline of new REIT filings, including large entrants like Knowledge Realty Trust," he noted. Both experts acknowledged risks. Dalal cautioned that weaker assets or incomplete projects could dilute investor confidence if packaged into REITs, stressing the need for 'stronger asset-level scrutiny and sustained regulatory oversight." Bansal flagged concerns over income classification, service contracts, and facility management arrangements, calling for tighter governance as retail participation grows. On the funding side, both agreed that while greenfield projects will still depend on private equity and bank loans, REITs and InvITs unlock capital from completed assets, reduce leverage, and create room for fresh bank lending. 'This diversified funding ecosystem can significantly reduce the sector's dependence on costlier debt," Bansal added.

Ease of Doing Business cell launched in Karnataka

BENGALURU: In a bid to support the state's growing network of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), Minister for IT/BT and Electronics Priyank Kharge launched KATALYST, an Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) cell on Monday. The initiative, aligned with the state's GCC Policy 2024-29, will serve as a single-window platform to streamline new investments and fast-track approvals. The announcement came on Monday during a CEO Breakfast Meet hosted by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, which brought together over 200 industry leaders from various sectors, ahead of the Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS), scheduled for November 18-20. Siddaramaiah said Karnataka remains India's largest software-exporting state, contributing 44% of the country's software exports and the government's goal is to add 500 more GCCs by 2029, creating 3.5 lakh jobs and generating $50 billion in economic output. He added that new tech clusters will be developed outside Bengaluru to ensure balanced growth. Outlining Karnataka's vision, the CM said, 'We want the state to be the place where the world comes to solve its biggest challenges - whether it is curing diseases, developing sustainable energy solutions, or building computers of the future. We will provide the talent, infrastructure, and policy support.' Shivakumar said the upcoming BTS-2025 should send a strong message to the world about the city's global standing in the IT sector. He highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to inaugurate the Namma Metro Yellow Line, noting that the PM had acknowledged Bengaluru's status as a 'global city'. He credited former CM SM Krishna's IT policy for laying the foundation for this growth. Appealing to companies, Shivakumar urged them to direct their CSR funds towards developing government schools in rural areas. 'Don't give us money, build the schools directly. If you give us money, you will have to pay 18% tax on it,' he said. With 50,000 government teacher posts vacant, Shivakumar said private schools are being encouraged to take responsibility for rural institutions. During the event, Kharge unveiled plans for the 28th edition of BTS and said that the event, themed around 'Futurise', will bring together over one lakh attendees from more than 60 countries.
