Roundtable Discussion – Investing in Indian REITs and Trends in APAC REITs

APREA has been instrumental in introduction of the Indian REIT regulations and has also been driving policy changes for Indian InvITs. Whilst COVID-19 is gripping every business, Embassy Office Parks REIT, India’s first and only listed REIT on delivering strong revenue growth of around 8 per cent y-o-y to ₹543 crore (USD 71 million) in the March quarter. Embassy REIT has witnessed a successful year one and has distributed $250m to Unitholders with total returns of 25%. This was mostly driven by strong leasing momentum, prudent asset management and rental escalations.

Industrial REITs, which include warehouses, were already seeing growing demand as retail moved online, and that demand has increased due to the pandemic. REITs continue to hold the baton through this crisis and as the Embassy REITs result has yielded the silver lining in the dark cloud, it continues to pave the way for more REITs in India.

Learn more about the Indian REIT regulations and the trends for European REITs and how they are coping with the COVID-19 impact.
