New Delhi: REITs and InvITs have gained popularity as preferred investment options, with fundraising, through the route, surging 10-fold year-on-year to Rs11,474 crore in 2023, supported by measures taken by regulator Sebi and attractive returns offered by the instruments. Going ahead, fund mobilisation by REITs (real estate investment trusts) and InvITs (infrastructure investment trusts) is poised for significant growth in 2024, driven by several key factors, including anticipation of rate cuts and introduction of a range of policies aimed at encouraging investments like tax incentives and relaxed investment norms, Claravest Technologies co-founder Manaki Parulekar said.
“This year, we are likely to see interest rates decrease in the first half of 2024 due to the expected drop in inflation. These conditions are favourable for investors who are looking to invest in long-term opportunities, such as REITs and InvITs,” he added.
According to data compiled by Prime Database.com, REITs and InvITs collectively raised Rs11,474 crore in 2023 compared to a record low amount of Rs1,166 crore clocked in 2022.
