Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT), with the support of Blackstone and Sattva Group, is coming up with a ₹4,800 crore REIT IPO in the month of August 2025. The company managing one of India’s biggest Grade A office portfolios, has the aim to gain value and make its finances firm. Through this IPO, KRT is offering its investors a stable rental income by a commercial real estate trust that is professionally managed.
The real-estate investment trust company started as a joint venture between global investment firm Blackstone and Bengaluru-based Sattva Group. KRT operates 48 million square feet of Grade A office space across six major cities in India such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. This makes the corporation one of India’s largest diversified commercial real estate portfolios. KRT has a focus on premium office properties that caters to a vast range of corporate tenants with an aim to capitalize on the growing demand for quality office infrastructure.
KRT filed its DRHP in March 2025 and recently received the regulatory approval from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch its IPO with a target of ₹4,800 crore. The IPO is expected to be available from early August 2025 and it will monetize 30 Grade A office assets. KRT IPO is also structured as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) offering which provides the future investors a chance to take part in an income-generating commercial property portfolio with a stable rental income.
The portfolio of the company is one of its primary attractions and spans over various locations that have a high-demand and are equipped with robust occupancy rates. They offer long-term leases for established tenants which helps in ensuring a steady stream of rental income. The company also registered a revenue of ₹1,632 crore in the first half of FY25 and a revenue of ₹3,588 crore as well as profit after tax in FY24. The upcoming REIT IPO will increase the company’s efficacy and transparency while offering future investors distributions of regular income.
The IPO is expected to secure ₹4,800 crore and its proceeds will be utilised by the company to reduce their existing corporate debt and to monetize property assets. KRT’s capital restructuring will enable the company to strengthen their balance sheet as well as enhance KRT’s ability to invest in opportunities that provide growth in the future in the thriving Indian commercial real estate market. The public listing of the corporation will also increase liquidity and brand visibility for KRT.
The upcoming KRT IPO of ₹4,800 crore with REIT structure marks a pivotal step taken to gain value from one of India’s largest office portfolios. It is backed by heavyweight investors like Blackstone and Sattva. This IPO is a major step for India's commercial real estate sector that offers its investors an opportunity to own a share in premium office assets.
