New Delhi, February 26 Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) listed on the stock exchange have collectively distributed a return of ₹5,565 crore to approximately 4 lakh unitholders during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, marking another quarter of steady growth.
The sector, comprising 26 business trusts, provided a return of ₹4,287 crore to its unitholders in the second quarter of the current financial year.
The distribution represents the overall return paid out to unitholders, and includes multiple components such as interest, dividends, repayment of capital, and other income streams. Dividends are one of the components within the total distribution and reflect the portion of returns generated.
During the third quarter, two new InvITs started making distributions, reflecting the continued growth of the sector.
According to the Bharat InvITs Association, the InvIT market has experienced steady expansion in terms of both asset base and investor participation.
The total assets under management (AUM) across listed InvITs is ₹7 lakh crore, with a diversified portfolio of operational infrastructure assets across the country, as of December 2025, including sectors such as roads, transmission, renewable energy, and other core infrastructure segments, it said.
This growth has been strongly supported by the government's continued focus on infrastructure development as a key driver of economic growth, it added.
Additionally, it said, regulatory support, including streamlined guidelines and measures to deepen capital markets, has enhanced the attractiveness of InvITs as an investment vehicle.
"The InvIT ecosystem is entering a new phase of expansion, with increasing participation from domestic and global investors. As the sector evolves, InvITs will continue to unlock value, enable efficient capital recycling, and deepen India's infrastructure investment landscape," said N S Venkatesh, CEO of Bharat InvITs Association.
As India accelerates infrastructure development, InvITs are expected to play a central role in unlocking capital, enabling efficient asset recycling, and deepening long-term infrastructure financing markets, it added.
