India REIT Market Diversifies Beyond Office Space into Retail and Logistics
What happened
India's listed REITs and real-estate InvITs currently hold about 84% of their operational portfolio in office space. While office REIT penetration is around 19% of India's office stock, retail is already represented in the listed REIT universe. Institutional capital is also increasing positions in logistics, hotels, and healthcare real estate.
