Knowledge Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) established in Mumbai, India, focused on owning, operating, and investing in rent-generating commercial office assets. Constituted as an irrevocable trust under the Indian Trusts Act and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, its portfolio comprises 30 Grade-A office properties across six major urban centers including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Gurugram, and GIFT City in Ahmedabad. These assets exhibit a high committed occupancy rate—over 91%—and attract a diverse tenant base, featuring Fortune 500 companies, global capability centers, and leading domestic enterprises. Sponsored by prominent global entities Blackstone and Sattva, Knowledge Realty Trust has emerged as India's largest office REIT by gross asset value and net operating income for the financial year 2025. The trust plays a pivotal role in channeling institutional and retail capital into the country’s commercial real estate sector, supporting market liquidity, and offering investors stable rental income sourced from resilient office demand. Proceeds from recent fundraising have been used primarily to reduce debt within its asset-owning entities and pursue further expansion, cementing its stature as a barometer for professional investment appetite in India's property markets.
