MUMBAI: India’s market regulator is weighing a proposal that seeks to reduce the minimum investment limit in real estate investment trusts (REIT) to facilitate retail participation in this asset class, especially at a time when New Delhi is keen to monetise some of its income-earning properties.
While the current floor is Rs 50,000, the threshold could even be halved. The government is in consultation with the Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi) regarding the proposal.
Sebi did not immediately reply to ET s query.
“A proposal has come from market participants and the proposal is currently under consideration. However, a decision is yet to be taken on the size of the reduction and the precise timeline,” a regulatory source, with knowledge of the matter, told ET.
