SEBI Proposes Depository Receipts for REITs and Listed InvITs to Attract Foreign Investment
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed allowing Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and publicly listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to issue Depository Receipts (DRs) in foreign currency. This move aims to attract more foreign investment by enabling overseas investors to trade these units on permitted international exchanges. Privately listed InvITs are excluded from this framework. SEBI has invited public feedback on the proposal by August 25, 2026.
