The Bharat InvITs Association on Thursday released its second consolidated industry update, highlighting strong growth and increasing investor confidence in Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) as a key instrument for funding India’s infrastructure expansion. The update was shared by Chief Executive Officer N. S. Venkatesh, who stressed the need for greater transparency and awareness about the sector.
According to the industry snapshot as of September 30, 2025, the assets under management (AUM) of listed public and private InvITs have reached ₹7 lakh crore, marking a more than 1000% rise over the last five years and 16.5% growth in the past year. Market capitalisation touched ₹2.6 lakh crore by Q2 FY26. InvITs have cumulatively distributed more than ₹78,000 crore to unitholders since inception, including ₹10,000 crore in the first two quarters of 2025–26. The InvITs sector remains geographically widespread, covering 250+ assets across 21 states and spanning roads, power transmission, energy generation and storage, telecom, pipelines, warehousing, and optical fibre networks. The unitholder base expanded to 3.7 lakh by Q2 FY26, up from 2.8 lakh six months ago.
In Kolkata, InvITsis seen as an emerging long-term investment avenue amid growing investor appetite for infrastructure-backed returns. Broking firms in the city report rising enquiries from retail and HNI investors looking to diversify portfolios through regulated and stable instruments. Venkatesh said InvITs are transitioning from “niche to dynamic instruments” and projected industry AUM could triple to ₹21 lakh crore by 2030, aligning investor participation with national infrastructure ambitions.
