Criteria changed after SEBI reclassification
According to the National Stock Exchange of India, the Index Maintenance Sub-Committee (Equity) of NSE Indices Limited has decided to amend the eligibility criteria for inclusion of stocks in Nifty equity indices. This decision is based on SEBI's circular reclassifying Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as equity related instruments, aiming to increase the participation of Mutual Funds and Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs).Under the revised rules, REITs will now be eligible for inclusion in Nifty equity indices. NSE Indices Limited stated that these changes will take effect from the next scheduled reconstitution of the respective indices.
Impact on market participation and index scope
This move paves the way for the formal entry of real estate investment instruments into the scope of Indian equity indices. It also increases the potential for index-linked funds and other institutional investors to gain exposure to REITs.This change broadly strengthens the acceptance of REITs in the capital market, especially at a time when regulatory classification directly affects product access and fund participation. It will become clear on the next reconstitution date which REITs are eligible for inclusion under the revised criteria.

It was reported that the plan met the statutory standards of the IBC and included a framework for settling the claims of secured financial creditors and homebuyers. This development highlights the importance of regulatory compliance and investor/stakeholder protection in real estate-related instruments.
