Sebi revises InvITs norms, minimum investment slashed to ₹25 lakh

Markets regulator Sebi has notified rules to reduce the minimum allotment lot in the primary market for privately placed infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) to Rs 25 lakh, aligning it with the trading lot size in the secondary market. Prior to this, the minimum allotment lot in the primary market for privately placed InvITs was Rs 1 crore or Rs 25 crore, depending on the asset mix. However, in an earlier round of reforms, the trading lot size in the secondary market had already been reduced to Rs 25 lakh, irrespective of the asset mix. Accordingly, this amendment introduces a uniform minimum allotment size of Rs 25 lakh in the primary market for all privately placed InvITs, harmonizing it with the secondary market norms. Also, the regulator, through separate notifications dated September 1, enhanced the ease of doing business for the activities of Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) by amending rules. Under the norms, Sebi sai
