Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and REITs
Key Monetisation Instruments
InvITs and REITs are SEBI-regulated pooled investment vehicles that allow public infrastructure and real estate assets to be listed on stock exchanges, enabling the original asset owner (government or promoter) to monetise locked-in capital while retail and institutional investors gain exposure to stable infrastructure returns.
- InvIT: regulated by SEBI (Infrastructure Investment Trust) Regulations, 2014; structure is trust-based; distributes at least 90% of net distributable cash flows to unit holders
- REIT: regulated by SEBI (Real Estate Investment Trust) Regulations, 2014; similar distribution requirement
- Key InvITs used in NMP 1.0: National Highways InvIT (NHAI), PowerGrid InvIT — both listed on NSE/BSE
- TOT (Toll-Operate-Transfer): NHAI awards operational rights over existing toll roads to private concessionaires via competitive bidding; used extensively under NMP 1.0
- Under NMP 2.0, coal and mine sector monetisation will use operational concessions, while telecom monetisation will involve tower and fibre assets
