India’s five publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have collectively distributed over ₹8,900 crore to more than 425,000 unitholders in the fiscal year 2025-26, driven by strong operational performance, portfolio expansions, and increasing investor engagement.
According to the Indian REIT Association, the total gross asset value of the Indian REIT market exceeded ₹2.72 lakh crore as of March 31, 2026, with the combined market capitalization of the sector surpassing ₹1.7 lakh crore as of May 22, 2026.
In the March quarter alone, the five listed REITs—Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust—distributed a total of over ₹2,566 crore.
Recently, the sixth REIT, Bagmane Prime Office REIT, debuted on stock exchanges.
Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director and CEO of Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, and Chairperson of the Indian REIT Association, noted the “strong growth in distributions, expansion of high-quality real estate portfolios, and increasing investor participation.” He highlighted that the cumulative distribution of over ₹8,900 crore in FY26 reflects a robust year-on-year growth of over 50%. This increase underscores the resilience of underlying assets, strong operational performance, and the sector’s capacity to provide stable and predictable cash flows to investors.
The five REITs collectively manage more than 187 million square feet of Grade A office and retail real estate across India. Since their inception, they have distributed over ₹31,700 crore to unitholders.
Introduced in India in 2019 under the regulatory framework of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), REITs have emerged as an alternative investment option for both institutional and retail investors looking for exposure to income-generating commercial properties.
The Indian REIT Association, a non-profit organization established under SEBI’s guidance, aims to foster the development of the REIT market in India.
