SEBI seeks to let REITs, InvITs invest in under-construction assets
SEBI is looking to update the rules for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs).
If these changes go through, trusts could invest in under-construction projects without needing full control, which means more ways to earn steady income and less risk tied up in construction delays.
SEBI invites feedback on proposed reforms
SEBI also wants public feedback on these ideas until August 27, 2026.
Other proposals include shortening the cooling-off period for some private InvIT trades, giving a green light to remote common infrastructure, such as captive renewable energy facilities, as real estate assets under REIT regulations, and tweaking approval rules to make trading smoother.
The goal? To fix trading hassles caused by big lot sizes and support more green energy investments.
