India set to emerge as most dynamic REIT market globally: Report

India is well positioned to be the most dynamic REIT (real estate investment trust) market globally as developers look to monetize their rent-yielding commercial properties through this structure, according to Vestian. On Saturday, US-based real estate consultant Vestian released a report stating that the Indian REIT market has a great potential for growth because of availability of prime commercial assets (office, retail, warehousing and data centres) that can be monetized through this structure. The Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are investment vehicles that own or operate income-generating real estate, enabling investors to earn a share of the income produced without directly purchasing the properties. At present, there are five listed REITs in India -- Sattva Group and Blackstone-backed Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT), K Raheja Group-backed Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT and Nexus Select Trust.

Jet Airways to transfer Mumbai office lease to Parthos for ₹370 crore

Jet Airways, which is undergoing liquidation, on Wednesday said it has executed an agreement to transfer the lease of its office space in Mumbai to an entity for a little over Rs 370 crore. The proposed lease transfer, subject to approval from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), is being conducted under the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and Liquidation Regulations, according to a regulatory filing. After flying for 25 years, the once storied Jet Airways shuttered operations in April 2019, following financial headwinds and subsequently, lenders referred the ailing airline for resolution under the IBC.

"The company has executed the deed of assignment and other related documents in order to ...
