The Indian REITs Association has announced the launch of Data Benchmarking Institutions (DBIs), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing transparency and access to information for investors in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in India. This launch took place in the presence of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

DBIs will serve as a central repository for standardized and comparable data, improving market efficiency in India’s evolving REIT sector. Under SEBI’s guidance, leading financial services companies CareEdge, CAMS, and KFintech have developed dedicated platforms to provide investors with key information and performance analysis of various Indian REITs.

The new platforms will offer comprehensive insights into REIT performance, operational metrics, and valuation standards, empowering investors to make informed, data-driven decisions. The initiative is expected to bolster investor confidence and contribute to the growth and stability of the Indian securities market.

Ashwani Bhatia from SEBI emphasized the significance of this first-of-its-kind initiative, stating that it aligns with efforts to enhance market transparency. He noted that such initiatives are vital for building investor confidence in REITs.

The Indian REIT market currently includes four publicly listed entities—Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust—overseeing gross assets under management of more than ₹1,40,000 crore. The portfolio of these REITs spans approximately 125 million square feet of Grade A office and retail space across the country.

India’s REITs have evolved significantly since regulatory guidelines were introduced in 2014, culminating in the public launch of REITs in 2019. Regulations mirror international standards, requiring REITs to invest 80% of their portfolios in income-producing properties and distribute at least 90% of net cash flows to investors semi-annually.

The DBIs are poised to support the continued growth of the Indian REIT sector, facilitating better investment decisions and enhancing market knowledge.
