SEBI's decision to reclassify REITs as equity instruments has sparked an 8% market rally, promising enhanced liquidity and broader institutional participation in India's real estate investment sector.

SEBI's decision to reclassify REITs as equity instruments promises to transform India's real estate investment landscape, opening doors to index inclusion and enhanced institutional participation.

India's REIT market has achieved a historic milestone, surpassing 140 million sq ft in combined office and retail assets, demonstrating growing investor confidence and institutional participation in commercial real estate.

Industry experts revealed that India's Real Estate Investment Trust market has achieved remarkable growth momentum, with market capitalisation surpassing the significant ₹1 lakh crore threshold through robust leasing activities and expanding investor participation.

Equity investments in Indian real estate are set to cross $10 billion (₹1,000 crore) for the first time. Inflows reached $8.9 billion from January to September 2024, up 46% year-on-year, driven by strong domestic investor participation and a jump in deal volumes to 200 from 151 in 2023.
