Listed REITs Distribute Over Rs 8,900 Crore to Unitholders in FY26

India's REITs Sector Exceeds Rs 8,900 Crore Distribution to Unitholders in 2025-26 Fiscal Year

India's five listed real estate investment trusts (REITs) have distributed more than Rs 8,900 crore to unitholders during the last fiscal year, amidst strong demand for rent-yielding commercial assets. These REITs, which are investment vehicles that own or operate income-generating real estate, enable investors to earn a share of the income produced without directly purchasing the properties.

In the 2025-26 fiscal year, there were only five listed REITs: Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Knowledge Realty Trust backed by Sattva Group, Mindspace Business Parks REIT sponsored by K Raheja Group, and Nexus Select Trust. The sixth REIT, Bagmane Prime Office REIT, got listed on stock exchanges earlier this month.

According to the Indian REITs Association (IRA), the five publicly listed REITs in India collectively distributed over Rs 2,566 crore to more than 4.25 lakh unitholders during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the full financial year 2025-26, the cumulative distribution by these REITs exceeded Rs 8,900 crore.

As of the end of the March quarter of 2025-26, the total gross asset value of the Indian REIT market stood at over Rs 2,72,000 crore. The combined market capitalisation of the REIT sector stood at over Rs 1,70,000 crore as of May 22, 2026. Together, these five REITs manage a portfolio spanning over 187 million square feet of Grade A office and retail real estate across the country.

Since inception, these five REITs have cumulatively distributed over Rs 31,700 crore to unitholders. Alok Aggarwal, Chairperson of the Indian REITs Association, noted that this has been another landmark fiscal year for the Indian REIT industry, marked by strong growth in distributions, expansion of high-quality real estate portfolios, and increasing investor participation.
