Nifty REITs and InvITs Index

  • 11 Apr 2023

On 11th April, 2023, NSE Indices Ltd, an arm of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), launched the country’s first-ever Real Estate Investment Trusts and Infrastructure Investment Trusts index — Nifty REITs and InvITs Index.

  • The index aims to track the performance of REITs and InvITs that are publicly listed and traded on the NSE.
  • A real estate investment trust (REIT) or an infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) is an investment vehicle that owns revenue-generating real estate or infrastructure assets.
  • REITs invest in real estate projects, whereas InvITs invest in infrastructure projects with a long gestation period.
  • Through these trusts, investors get exposure to diversified regular income-generating real estate and infrastructure assets.
  • The Nifty REITs and InvITs index has a base value of 1,000 and the index will be reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
