SEBI Approves Depository Receipts Route for REITs and InvITs to Access Foreign Capital
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved a regulatory framework allowing Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to raise capital from overseas investors through depository receipts (DRs). These DRs can be issued against units of REITs and publicly listed InvITs and will initially be listed at the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in India. The framework excludes Indian residents and non-resident Indians from holding these DRs. SEBI also approved measures easing regulations for REITs and InvITs, including investment in minority stakes of under-construction projects and recognition of remote common infrastructure as real estate.
