Why is it more important to have a equipment for inclusive money creation
India’s middle class stands in a significant moment-for the impact of inflation on the conditions of the market, medium increment and long-term savings. While traditional equipment such as fixed deposits, 6-7%yield, safety and stability continue to offer, they cannot always fulfill the aspirations of the mobile generation at a rapidly economically aware and upwards. The direct ownership in real estate, although attractive, often remains out of reach of many people due to high entry costs, illegality and regulatory obstacles.

In historical terms, the income-generating commercial real estate (Cre) was generally the protection of institutional and ultra-rich investors. With the introduction of REIT, the middle class of India can be shifted to other income-making commercial real estate assets such as malls, hotels, warehouses, etc., with the owner of houses only. The REIT has unlocked access to the once-specific asset class, allowing India’s growing middle class to participate in the wealth of commercial real estate.

For middle class investors that balance the balance between stability and development, reit presents an ideal entry point in modern investment options. They combine the assurance of tangible assets with flexibility and diversification that are usually associated with financial instruments, which are well aligned with developed financial goals of medium -income houses.

As India moves towards $ 5 trillion economy, financially Inclusion Is important. In this context, REITs are not just another investment vehicle, they are the promoters of economic empowerment. By bridging the gap between aspiration and access, reits are redefined how the middle class of India creates money.
