IRB Infrastructure has reportedly transferred its 27.5-km Gandeva–Ena HAM highway project to IRB InvIT Fund for ₹513 crore as part of its asset monetization strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and pursue new highway development opportunities.

SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey has outlined potential regulatory enhancements for REITs and InvITs, including market index inclusion, expanded mutual fund participation, and greenfield project access for private InvITs, aimed at deepening market liquidity and institutional participation.

IRB InvIT has successfully raised ₹3,248.43 crore through institutional placement to acquire three major BOT highway corridors, expanding its portfolio from ₹7,800 crore to over ₹16,000 crore and signaling strong investor confidence in India's road infrastructure sector.

Industry projections indicate that India's REIT sector growth alongside Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) will witness unprecedented expansion over the next six years, targeting ₹25 lakh crore AUM by 2030.

Real Estate Investment Trusts and Infrastructure Investment Trusts are emerging as mainstream investment options in India, with enhanced regulatory support driving institutional confidence and retail accessibility.

Sebi's new framework simplifies fundraising for REITs and InvITs through a fast-track FPO mechanism, enhancing liquidity, ensuring minimum public holding, rationalizing sponsor lock-ins, and aligning Indian capital markets with global standards.

India's REIT and InvIT funding has increased significantly in recent years. The money generated via these channels increased tenfold in 2023, reaching ₹11,474 crore. SEBI's favourable policies and these instruments' enticing returns have driven this expansion.

As per news sources, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC is evaluating a 1.5 trillion rupee (INR) investment in IRB Infrastructure Trust, an infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) sponsored by the construction company IRB Infrastructure Developers.
