]]> Despite significant strides since the launch of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in India in 2019, a vast portion of REIT-suitable office space across the top 7 Indian cities remains untapped. According to the latest ANAROCK Research data, only 23% of the total REIT-able office stock—or 117.2 million sq. ft. out of 520 million sq. ft.—is currently listed with India’s three publicly traded REITs: Embassy Office Parks, Mindspace Business Parks, and Brookfield India REIT.

📍 Southern Cities Lead in Stock, But Lag in Listings

The southern markets—Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai—collectively host the largest chunk (approx. 313 Mn sq. ft.) of REIT-suitable office stock. However, only 18% of this is currently part of listed REIT portfolios.

🔽 City-Wise Breakdown: REIT-able vs. Listed Stock

CityREIT-able Stock (Mn sq. ft.)Listed Stock (Mn sq. ft.)% Listed
Bengaluru1623924%

Pune38924%
Kolkata7343%

✅ Kolkata leads in percentage terms, with 43% of its 7 Mn sq. ft. REITable stock already listed.

🧱 Why the Spike in REITable Stock?

The 36% surge in REITable stock from 2023 to 2025 has been driven by two key factors:

  • New Supply Addition: About 106.4 Mn sq. ft. of Grade A office stock has been added across top 7 cities since 2023.
  • Upgradation of Aging Assets: Nearly 400 Mn sq. ft. of existing stock (older than 10 years) is suitable for conversion to REIT standards.

🔍 Key Quote:

“The listed Indian REITs currently manage only a fraction of the total REITable market. This opens massive opportunities for new listings and consolidation,”
— Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Group

📈 Investor Returns Show Robust REIT Performance

India’s REITs are not just expanding in footprint—they’re also delivering strong returns.

💹 1-Year Returns of Listed REITs (as of 16 June 2025):

REIT1-Year Return
Mindspace Business Parks REIT23.34%
Brookfield India REIT15.19%
Embassy Office Parks REIT9.17%

📊 Mindspace REIT has been the top performer, driven by strong leasing activity and rental escalations.

🔮 What Lies Ahead?

India’s REIT journey is still in its early phase, but the potential is vast:

  • 47% of Grade A stock can be upgraded to REIT quality.
  • Opportunity to increase rental yields by 10–30% through upgradation.
  • Expansion into tier-2 cities and mixed-use assets may open new frontiers.
