In a move set to revolutionize real estate investment, SEBI has laid the foundations for ‘Small and Mighty’ REITs.
The new Sebi (REIT) regulations recognize opportunities in fractional ownership. Now, smaller funds of Rs. 50 crore can pool capital from a minimum of 200 investors.
This opens the door for more retail participation in high-end rent-yielding assets. One no longer needs crores to own a second home or commercial property portfolio.
The amendments aim to democratize real estate investing. By lowering entry barriers, even lesser-wallet players can benefit from the returns and liquidity REITs provide.
Experts say it could usher unprecedented growth. As more capital flows into rent-ready assets nationwide, smaller firms and projects also stand to gain financing support.
With three large REITs already listed, the regulatory move sets the stage for many ‘Small but Strong’ contenders to emerge. Real estate looks primed for more inclusive, innovative times ahead.
