Real estate in India has witnessing rapid growth and development since

one of the important investment instrument in india.
REITs are existed in and over 30 countries worldwide and REITs own
approximately $1 trillion of commercial real estate assets, including listed
and non-listed REITs. In US itself, 172 listed REITs on NYSE has a market
capitalization of $619 billion [by NAREIT]. REIT is high dividend yield
investment instruments worldwide and has historically increased
investor’s total return and lowered the overall risk.

invest primarily in Real estate of completed and revenue generating
properties. The Rental income generated will be distributed among
investors. Real estate investment is not liquid investment it require large
amount to be invested in property. While REIT is professionally managed

exposure to real estate as well as diversify its portfolio.
