InvITs are a relatively new investment type in India, introduced by SEBI in 2014. But, they have experienced rapid growth and have risen as a reliable way for investors to receive a steady cash flow. InvITs are a win-win for both investors and developers. While the developers get funding from investors to keep developing new projects, investors keep getting returns based on their investments.
