They distributed a total of ₹24,267 crore to unitholders in FY25, reaffirming their ability to generate regular, predictable cash flows for investors.

The combined market capitalisation of listed InvITs (public and private) reached ₹2.4 lakh crore as of March 31. The total number of unitholders as on March 31, 2025, is 280,000, representing a healthy mix of institutional, retail, and global investors.

They have created a distinct and credible asset class that brings long-term capital into infrastructure while offering stable returns to investors'', said N. S. Venkatesh, Chief Executive Officer, Bharat InvITs Association.

With increasing participation from diverse investor categories and a strong regulatory oversight and support from Sebi, InvITs are poised to play an integral role in supporting India’s infrastructure goals, he added.
