India's six listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) collectively distributed Rs 3,136 crore to more than 485,000 unitholders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026-27 (Q1 FY27), according to the Indian Banks Association (IRA). This marks a 101.1% year-on-year increase from Rs 1,559 crore distributed by four REITs in Q1 FY26. The six REITs are Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Nexus Select Trust, Knowledge Realty Trust, and Bagmane Prime Office REIT. The sector's gross assets under management stood at over Rs 3.17 trillion, with combined market capitalisation exceeding Rs 2.17 trillion as of August 11, 2026. Together, they manage over 214 million square feet of Grade A office and retail space. Since inception, they have cumulatively distributed over Rs 34,800 crore. The growth is attributed to healthy rental collections, improving occupancy, and disciplined capital management. The Indian Banks Association, founded in 2023 under the guidance of SEBI and the Ministry of Finance, promotes the sector's growth.
