REIT Sector in India Grows 13% in FY25, Distributes ₹6,070 Crore Amid Rising Demand from GCCs

India’s Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) sector has reportedly witnessed a robust 13% year-on-year increase in distributions during FY2024–25, amounting to ₹6,070 crore across its four publicly listed trusts—Brookfield India REIT, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust. This comes in comparison to ₹5,366 crore disbursed in the previous financial year, signalling a growing investor appetite and healthy market fundamentals.

Quarter 4 Sees Sharp Uptick in Payouts

According to reported data, in Q4 of FY25 alone, these REITs distributed ₹1,553 crore to more than 2.64 lakh unitholders—marking a notable rise from the ₹1,377 crore distributed during the same period in FY24. Industry insiders attribute this momentum to sustained demand for leased commercial spaces, especially from Global Capability Centres (GCCs), coupled with a robust domestic leasing ecosystem.

Strong Financial Performance Reflects Market Confidence

Collectively, the four REITs posted a combined Net Operating Income (NOI) of ₹89,100 crore in FY25, reflecting a 16% year-on-year growth from ₹76,626 crore in FY24. Revenue from operations followed a similar trajectory, rising by 16% to ₹1.12 trillion. These metrics underscore the operational strength of the sector and the increasing trust REITs are earning from both domestic and international investors
