“REITs in India have truly come of age — evolving from a novel concept to a trusted, mainstream investment vehicle. The growing participation from both institutional and retail investors is a testament to the confidence in the asset class and the underlying fundamentals of India’s commercial real estate sector. As a product, REITs offer the ideal blend of stability and growth — and we believe we are just at the beginning of a long-term, value-driven journey for investors and the economy alike,” said Shirish Godbole, Chief Executive Officer of Knowledge Realty Trust REIT.

At the upper end of the price band (₹100), the issue was subscribed 13.11 times overall, with institutional investors subscribing 9.55 times and other investors subscribing 17.38 times. At the lower end of the price band (₹95), the overall subscription stood at 12.45 times, with institutional investors bidding 9.07 times and other investors 16.51 times.

“The total number of applications we’ve received for Knowledge REIT is more than the sum total of all past Indian REITs put together. This isn’t just a milestone — it’s a resounding vote of confidence in REITs as a product of stable income and growth avenue. More importantly, it reflects the growing conviction in the structural strength of India’s premium office space — a long-term, secular growth story that is firmly poised to benefit tremendously from India’s extraordinary growth story,” said Quaiser Parvez, Chief Operating Officer of Knowledge Realty Trust REIT.
