NEW DELHI: Real estate investment trusts and infrastructure investment trusts in India have seen an increase in office REIT and industrial; warehousing penetration touch 30 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, by 2030, a report said on June 19.
The rapid surge in the REIT penetration levels in the office market is supported by influx of high quality green-certified assets, strong occupier demand and sustained investor appetite, the report from Colliers said.
The existing portfolio across listed REITs and InvITs surpassed 195 million sq ft with an upcoming pipeline of roughly 37 million sq ft as of March 2026.
While the office segment continues to dominate with around 84 per cent share in the operational portfolio of existing Indian REIT/InvIT, retail and industrial & warehousing segments are gaining momentum.
REITs and InvITs are accelerating the institutionalisation and democratisation of India’s real estate sector, driven by rising investor participation, strong operational performance of underlying assets, asset acquisition and supportive policies, the report noted.
The market now comprises five office-focused REITs alongside a retail REIT and an industrial & warehousing focused InvIT, reflecting scalability of REIT/InvIT structures in India.
“Almost one-fifth of India’s Grade A office stock across the top seven markets is currently under REITs, signaling a steady shift toward institutionalization and growing investor confidence in income-generating assets,” said Badal Yagnik, CEO & Managing Director, Colliers India.
