“SEBI’s latest announcements will provide the impetus needed to make REITs and InvITs more attractive, transparent, and operationally efficient. A relaxation of the earlier provision, making it mandatory to onward distribute 100% inflows from SPV to Holdco, will allow more operational flexibility and improved cash flow management for REITs and InvITs, potentially optimising distributions and making the structures more attractive to sponsors and managers. Additionally, SEBI has aligned the timeline for submitting various reports with the schedule for financial results. This streamlines compliance and reduces redundant delays for REITs and InvITs. These amendments will make REITs and InvITs more accessible, trusted, and future ready. We anticipate a surge of domestic and global capital into the sector, which is essential for funding India’s vast real estate and infrastructure development needs.”
