The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will reclassify Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as equity-related instruments effective from 1 Jan 2026. This change aims to boost investments from Mutual Funds and Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs). Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) will remain classified as hybrid instruments. 📈
This reclassification is expected to enhance liquidity and participation in the REIT market, potentially increasing investor interest in real estate assets.
