REIT, a popular instrument globally, was introduced in India a few years ago to attract investment in the real estate sector by monetizing rent-generating assets.
This helps unlock huge value in real estate assets and enables retail participation. The first REIT with an issue size of Rs 4,750 crore was listed in April 2019 by Embassy Office Park, backed by Bengaluru-based Embassy Group and global investment firm Blackstone.
In August 2020, K Raheja launched the country’s second REIT to raise Rs 4,500 crore backed by Mindspace Business Park. Global investment firm Brookfield launched the country’s third REIT last year to raise Rs 3,800 crore.
