REITs Center

The first Indian REIT Embassy Office Parks REIT was listed. APREA helped SEBI connect with the investors before the regulations were notified and for investor outreach thereafter, which helped to alert the international market on Indian REITs.

This year, India witnessed the launch and successful listing of its first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) by Blackstone and Embassy. This key event marked the opening of a fresh investment avenue and unfolded a bright new chapter for the country's real estate sector. To add to it, the Securities and Exchange Board of India reduced the minimum allotment value from the initial INR 2,00,000 to INR 50,000 only giving further push to retail investors to invest in this new investment vehicle.
