The CEO of Bharat InvITs Association (BIA), NS Venkatesh on June 12 said that privately-listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) shall need to transform themselves into publicly-listed entities, going ahead.
“The way forward of most of the InvITs will be to transform themselves from a privately listed to a publicly listed,” Venkatesh said.
As of March 2025, there are 26 InvITs registered with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), of which 21 are privately-listed and only five are listed publicly.
These InvITs are currently managing around Rs 7 lakh crore worth of assets in roads, transmission, telecom towers, optical fiber networks, warehousing, supply chains, energy generation and storage, and pipelines. Venkatesh expects the asset under management (AUM) to increase to around Rs 21 lakh crore in next five years.
The combined market capitalisation of listed InvITs (public and private) had reached Rs 2.4 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, a statement said.
InvITs distributed a total of Rs 24,267 crore to unitholders in FY 2024–25, the release added.
