Sebi allows REITs, InvITs to tap overseas investors through depository receipts

Sebi has established frameworks allowing real estate investment trusts and infrastructure investment trusts to issue foreign currency denominated depository receipts. This initiative enables them to access capital from overseas markets through international exchanges in GIFT City.
