Infrastructure creation is central to India's economic policy. This, even as global capital flows have become more selective. India must mobilise long-term capital at scale, both domestic and global, through efficient financial structures.
India's listed business trusts have emerged as a credible bridge between long-duration savings and income-generating assets. They have also provided an effective route for monetisation of operational infra. India has 5 listed REITs and more than 24 listed InvITs with an aggregate market capitalisation of around ₹4 lakh cr. This growth has been built on clear design principles.
