The IPO of PropShare Platina, India's first Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trust (SM REIT) scheme, will be officially listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) tomorrow. The offering received an impressive response, with the subscription closing earlier this week at 1.2 times. A total of 4,002 bids were placed for the 3,353 units available, with the non-institutional investors' segment oversubscribed by 4.37 times, signalling strong confidence in this new investment vehicle. The institutional investor portion was subscribed by 13%.
Today's listing marks a significant milestone for India's REIT landscape, opening the platform to a wider pool of investors and offering fresh opportunities for capital growth and liquidity in the market. The PropShare Platina IPO was a fresh issue of Platina units, with no offer for sale (OFS), meaning all units offered were new and issued by the Property Share Investment Trust (PSIT). The funds raised through the IPO will be used to acquire the Prestige Tech Platina asset, a 246,935-square-foot office building in Bengaluru. This property has earned a LEED Gold certification, reflecting its sustainable design and construction. The building will be fully leased to a US-based technology company under a 9-year lease agreement, which includes a 4.6-year weighted average lock-in period and a 15% rent escalation every three years.
The stable lease terms, combined with the high-quality nature of the asset, provide a solid foundation for the growth of PropShare Platina. The listing tomorrow is expected to enhance investor confidence in the long-term potential of REITs in India.
ICICI Securities acted as the sole lead manager for the IPO, and with the listing now just a day away, PropShare Platina is well-positioned for broader investor participation. The successful launch and upcoming listing are viewed as a positive step for the growth of India's real estate investment sector, potentially paving the way for more opportunities in the future.
