India's InvITs Skyrocket: ₹7 Lakh Crore AUM

As of September 30, India's listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) reported Assets Under Management (AUM) of ₹7 lakh crore. This figure represents a remarkable expansion, with the sector experiencing over 1,000% growth in just five years and a 16.5% increase in the past year. This surge is driven by the continuous integration of operational infrastructure assets and sustained investor interest since 2019.

InvITs have distributed over ₹78,000 crore to unitholders since their inception, with ₹10,000 crore disbursed in the first two quarters of FY26 alone. These distributions are underpinned by the stable, regulated cash flows generated from their underlying infrastructure assets. The market capitalization of InvITs reached ₹2.6 lakh crore by the second quarter of FY26, reflecting the expanding landscape of listed trusts and their consistent returns.

The investor base for InvITs has also grown substantially, with the total number of unitholders increasing to 3.7 lakh by Q2 FY26. These trusts collectively manage over 250 infrastructure assets across 21 Indian states, covering sectors like roads, power, telecom, and warehousing. Industry estimates project a further expansion of AUM to ₹21 lakh crore by 2030.
