India looks to tap private equity behemoths for Reits with PSUs

The plan, still at an early stage, is part of a broader push to accelerate government asset monetization following the Union budget for 2026-27, which proposed using Reit structures to recycle state-owned assets and attract institutional capital. Reits allow asset owners, in this case the government, to convert infrastructure into tradable securities, unlocking capital while retaining ownership of the underlying assets as a sponsor, generating income through long-term leases.
