India Growth Story on InvITs
Introduced in 2014, Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) have revolutionised India`s infrastructure investment landscape. In less than a decade, InvITs have carved out a significant niche, offering superior risk-adjusted returns and becoming a preferred vehicle for portfolio diversification. Initially attracting substantial investment, InvITs now manage assets exceeding ₹4 lakh crore across various sectors, with the potential to grow by an additional ₹6-8 lakh crore in the next decade.
Since 2019, InvITs have collectively raised over ₹1 lakh crore in equity. As of October 2024 there are 26 SEBI registered InvITs. Among these, four publicly listed InvITs have a combined market capitalization of approximately ₹25,000 crore. Operating under stringent governance standards, InvITs are required to allocate at least 80% of their assets to income-generating projects and distribute 90% of their Net Distributable Cash Flow semi-annually or quarterly. Additionally, with a leverage cap of 70% and a AAA-rating requirement, InvITs ensure stability, transparency, and investor confidence.
InvITs offer a regulated, transparent, and liquid avenue for investors to participate in India`s infrastructure growth, providing opportunities for fractional ownership and consistent yields.
