Six listed Indian REITs distribute ₹3,136 cr to unitholders in Q1FY27

India’s six publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have collectively distributed ₹3,136 crore to more than 4.85 lakh unitholders during the first quarter (Q1) FY27, according to the Indian REITs Association (IRA).

The six listed REITs in India are Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Nexus Select Trust, Knowledge Realty Trust and Bagmane Prime Office REIT. As of Q1 FY27, the total gross Assets Under Management (AUM) of the Indian REIT sector stood at over ₹3.17 lakh crore, while the combined market capitalisation of the sector stood at over $2.17 lakh crore as of August 11, 2026.

Together, the six REITs manage more than 214 million square feet of Grade A office and retail space across India. Since their inception, they have cumulatively distributed over ₹34,800 crore to the unitholders, highlighting the growing role of REITs in India’s capital markets.

Shirish Godbole, Chief Executive Officer of Knowledge Realty Trust and Chairperson of the Indian REITs Association, said, “the strong distribution in the quarter, despite continued global uncertainties, is a positive start to the financial year. It reflects the resilience of Indian REITs and their ability to deliver regular and stable cash flows to unitholders.”

The growth in distributions was supported by healthy rental collections, improving occupancy, the quality of the underlying assets and disciplined capital management by REIT managers, he said adding, “as the Indian REIT market continues to mature, investor participation grows and the sector is supported by progressive policy reforms, we believe REITs have the potential to play an increasingly important role in India’s capital markets.”
