Sebi Proposes Minority Stake Investments by Reits; Green Debt in Reits Doubles by 2026
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed allowing real estate and infrastructure investment trusts (Reits and Invits) to acquire minority stakes in third-party projects, including under-construction assets, enabling developers to raise capital without full asset sales. This model aims to improve capital efficiency and risk management. Concurrently, green debt borrowings by Indian Reits have doubled to 12% by March 2026, reflecting growing emphasis on sustainable financing amid rising ESG commitments and green-certified assets, with expectations of further growth in green funding.
