India’s listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) paid out ₹5,565 crore to approximately four lakh unitholders in the third quarter of FY26, according to data released Monday by the Bharat InvITs Association (BIA). Two new InvITs began making distributions during the quarter, adding to the sector’s expansion.
Since their inception, InvITs have cumulatively distributed ₹83,770 crore to investors, cementing their position as a significant vehicle for monetising infrastructure assets in India. Total assets under management (AUM) across listed InvITs now stand at ₹7 lakh crore, spread across roads, transmission, renewable energy, and other infrastructure segments.
The sector currently has 26 listed business trusts and a unitholder base of around 2.8 lakh investors. BIA noted growing interest from both domestic and global institutional investors, pointing to stable operational performance and predictable cash flows from underlying assets as key drivers.
N.S. Venkatesh, CEO of BIA, said the quarterly distribution numbers reflect the resilience of underlying assets and growing investor confidence, adding that InvITs are well-positioned to support India’s infrastructure financing requirements going forward.
The industry body attributed part of the sector’s growth to continued government focus on infrastructure investment and regulatory support, including measures to deepen capital markets and streamline InvIT guidelines. BIA was established in March 2024 as the apex body for InvITs in India.
