India’s five publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have collectively distributed over ₹2,450 crore to more than 3.8 lakh unitholders during the third quarter of FY26, according to the Indian REITs Association.
The listed REITs — Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust, Mindspace Business Parks REIT and Nexus Select Trust — together manage a portfolio exceeding 185 million square feet of Grade A office and retail assets across key Indian markets.
Since their respective listings, the five trusts have cumulatively distributed more than ₹29,100 crore to investors, underscoring the growing maturity of India’s REIT market as an income-generating asset class.
As of Q3 FY26, the gross Assets Under Management (AUM) of the Indian REIT sector has crossed ₹2.5 lakh crore, reflecting sustained institutional interest and stable performance in commercial real estate. Industry data indicates that steady leasing momentum, improving occupancy levels and rental growth across prime office and retail assets have supported distributions during the quarter.
The sector has also received policy support in recent months, including regulatory proposals permitting banks to lend directly to REITs and the introduction of dedicated REIT structures for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Market participants expect these measures to deepen capital access and broaden asset pipelines.
The Indian REITs Association, a non-profit industry body supported by the Securities and Exchange Board of India and the Ministry of Finance, represents all five listed REITs. The association said the sector continues to position itself as a transparent and regulated investment platform offering stable returns linked to high-quality commercial real estate assets.
