India’s five listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have collectively distributed more than ₹8,900 crore to over 4.25 lakh unitholders in FY 2025-26 because of strong operating performance, portfolio expansions and growing investor participation.

The Indian REIT association said the total gross asset value of the Indian REIT market stood at more than ₹2.72 lakh crore as of March 31, 2026, while the combined market capitalisation of the sector was over ₹1.7 lakh crore as on May 22, 2026.

During the March quarter, the five listed REITs — Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust, Mindspace Business Parks REIT and Nexus Select Trust — together distributed over ₹2,566 crore.

The sixth REIT Bagmane Prime Office REIT was listed on the stock exchanges earlier this month.

Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director and CEO of Brookfield India Real Estate Trust and Chairperson of the IRA, said the industry saw “strong growth in distributions, expansion of high-quality real estate portfolios, and increasing investor participation.”

“The cumulative distribution of over ₹8,900 crore in FY26 represents a robust year-on-year growth of over 50 per cent. This significant increase underscores the resilience of the underlying assets, strong operating performance, and the sector’s ability to deliver stable and predictable cash flows to unitholders,” he said.

The five REITs together manage more than 187 million square feet of Grade A office and retail real estate across India. Since inception, they have cumulatively distributed over ₹31,700 crore to unitholders.

REITs, which were introduced in India in 2019 under the regulatory framework of the Securities and Exchange Board of India, have emerged as an alternative investment avenue for institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to rent-yielding commercial real estate assets.

The Indian REITs Association is a non-profit industry body formed under the guidance of SEBI to promote the development of the REIT market in the country.
