Reits And Invits

Fundraising through instruments like REITs and InvITs - plunged 59 per cent to Rs 22,145 crore in 2021-22

REITs and InvITs are relatively new investment instruments in the Indian context but are extremely popular in global markets

Indian companies have mopped up more than Rs 9 lakh crore through equity and debt routes in 2021

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) will be included in Nifty indices from September 30, 2021, as per revised eligibility norms announced by NSE

Budget 2021 Highlights: Allowing foreign investors to invest in debt of REITs increases the sources of capital, and could help further lower cost of debt for the REIT.

SEBI on Friday also approved amendments to real estate investment trust (REIT) and infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) rules.

Sebi's board has approved amendment to REITs and InvITs regulations in order to facilitate growth of such trusts, the regulator said.

The RBI said at a policy review earlier this month that it would allow banks to invest in REITs and InvITs.

Banks are allowed to invest in equity-linked mutual funds, venture capital funds (VCFs) and equities to the extent of 20 per cent of their Net Owned Fund (NOF).

Sinha said that the reason for no REIT or InvIT being launched was, however, beyond its jurisdiction and it was more to do with approval from other regulators for investees of these new instruments.

Apart from IRB Infrastructure and Sterlite Power's proposed offerings, SEBI has four applications for InvITs and one for a REIT from Embassy Office Park.

The move comes after Sebi in its board meeting last month permitted mutual funds to invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs).

On new products like muni bonds, REITs and InvITs, he said, "India is ready to explore and it is a good sign of an evolving marketplace."

At its board meeting here, Sebi allowed investment by mutual funds in REITs and InvITs saying the units of such trusts are hybrid instruments.

Both REITs and InvITs are vehicles created to primarily invest in revenue-generating real estate/infrastructure assets.
