The sector has seen further growth, with the addition of one more Reit taking the number of listed Reits to five in FY26, reflecting growing confidence in the platform.”
Overall, in FY26, the five Reits cumulatively distributed over ₹8,906.6 crore. Aggarwal said this underscores the resilience of the underlying assets, strong operating performance and the sector’s ability to deliver stable and predictable cash flows to unitholders.
In FY26, Embassy distributed ₹2,396 crore (up 10 per cent Y-o-Y), KRT distributed ₹2,101.9 crore, Brookfield distributed ₹1,516.5 crore (up 42.71 per cent Y-o-Y), Mindspace distributed ₹1,516.4 crore (up 15.6 per cent Y-o-Y), and Nexus distributed ₹1,375.8 crore (up 8.75 per cent Y-o-Y).
According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), Reits are mandated to distribute at least 90 per cent of their taxable income. Reit distributions are returns that can be in the form of dividends, interest, amortisation of debt received from the special purpose vehicles, other income, or a combination of the above-mentioned aspects.
“As India’s commercial real estate market continues to evolve, Reits are steadily emerging as a preferred investment avenue for both domestic and global investors seeking transparent, professionally managed, yield-generating assets. We remain confident in the long-term growth potential of the Indian Reit ecosystem and its expanding role in India’s financial markets,” Aggarwal added.
