Blackstone-backed Bagmane Prime Office REIT to launch Rs 3,405-cr IPO on May 5

New Delhi, Apr 28 (PTI) Blackstone-backed Bagmane Prime Office REIT is poised to hit the capital markets with its Rs 3,405 crore initial public offering (IPO), scheduled to open on May 5.

The public issue of Bengaluru-based real estate investment trust (REIT), which owns and develops Grade A+ office assets, will conclude on May 7. The anchor investor bidding is scheduled for May 4, according to the offer document.

The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of units aggregating up to Rs 2,390 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of units worth up to Rs 1,015 crore by the selling unitholder.

Proceeds will be used to acquire Luxor at Bagmane Capital Tech Park (spanning one million sq ft) as well as part-fund the acquisition of a 93 per cent stake in Bagmane Rio, which owns the 1.1 million sq ft Bagmane Rio Business Park.

Bagmane Prime Office REIT’s portfolio includes six premium Grade A+ business parks spanning 20.3 million square feet, located in key micro-markets of Bengaluru, including the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and the Secondary Business District (SBD City).

As of December 31, 2025, the REIT reported a committed occupancy of 98.8 per cent, among the highest for listed office REITs in India. Its tenant base includes multinational corporations such as Google, Amazon, Nvidia and Samsung.

In addition to office assets, the portfolio also comprises two under-construction hotels with 607 keys and four solar power projects with a combined capacity of 164.4 MW (DC).

The Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are investment vehicles that own or operate income-generating real estate, enabling investors to earn a share of the income produced without directly purchasing the properties.

At present, there are five listed REITs in India — Sattva Group and Blackstone-backed Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT), K Raheja Corp-backed Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT and Nexus Select Trust.

Out of the five listed REITs, only Nexus Select Trust is backed by rent-yielding retail real estate (shopping malls), while the other four are office REITs.

The book running lead managers to the issue are JM Financial, Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Axis Capital, IIFL Capital Services, SBI Capital Markets, 360 ONE WAM and HDFC Bank. PTI SP DRR
