Nisus Finance to Launch ₹2,000-Crore Land Fund, Plans ₹2,000-Crore SM REIT Platform

Alternative investment firm to roll out phased land fund this year; also preparing small and medium REIT platform to tap real estate opportunities.

Mumbai:Nisus Finance is planning to establish a ₹2,000-crore land fund this year, alongside launching a ₹2,000-crore Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trust (SM REIT) platform, a senior company executive has said.

₹2,000-Crore Land Fund in Phases

According to the company, the proposed land fund will be rolled out in two phases. An initial corpus of ₹1,000 crore is expected to be raised this year, followed by another ₹1,000 crore next year, taking the total fund size to ₹2,000 crore.

The fund will primarily focus on acquiring strategically located land parcels in high-growth urban markets. The objective is to partner with credible developers and capitalise on rising demand across residential, commercial, and mixed-use segments.

Company executives indicated that the land fund strategy aims to generate long-term value through structured investments and disciplined asset management.

₹2,000-Crore SM REIT Platform

In addition to the land fund, Nisus Finance is also preparing to launch a ₹2,000-crore Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trust (SM REIT) platform. The initiative is intended to cater to investors seeking exposure to income-generating real estate assets through a regulated structure.

The SM REIT platform is expected to focus on stabilised and rent-yielding properties, offering periodic returns to investors. The move aligns with the broader trend of increasing institutional participation in India’s real estate market.

Strategic Expansion

The dual initiatives signal Nisus Finance’s intent to expand its footprint in the alternative investment and real estate segments. By diversifying into land banking and REIT structures, the firm aims to tap both development-led appreciation and steady rental income opportunities.

Industry observers note that rising urbanisation, infrastructure expansion, and growing investor appetite for real estate-backed instruments are driving interest in such structured investment vehicles.

Further details on timelines, investor participation, and regulatory approvals are expected to be announced in the coming months.
