InvITs - Can the instrument reinvigorate India’s vision to become an international financial stronghold?

After the recent revisions and regulations, the policy changes around InvITs in India are helping to pave the way for issuers to access capital. These new policy changes are also enabling some improvements in tax rates, trading and higher liquidity. InvITs are gaining momentum since last year as a growth catalyst to attract and augment funds for the sectors, and are becoming one of the favoured platforms for Infra investors, as these permit foreign portfolio investors to invest in different assets with lower risks and higher returns. In this GRI Club Meeting members will gather to discuss how attractive InvITs are as an alternate investment platform, and how this new mechanism can foster and direct investing to infrastructure projects in India.
