Definition

REIT IPO

A REIT IPO is the public listing of a Real Estate Investment Trust, which pools investor money to own income-generating commercial property.

A Real Estate Investment Trust holds rent-yielding assets — typically office parks and malls — and distributes most of its income to unitholders. SEBI REIT Regulations require a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its net distributable cash flows and to invest mainly in completed, income-producing property.

India's first REIT (Embassy Office Parks) listed in 2019. REIT units trade on the NSE and BSE like shares, giving retail investors access to commercial real estate with a smaller minimum investment than buying property directly.
