Introducing Knowledge Realty Trust: India’s Premier Office REIT
When it comes to premium office space and institutional-grade real estate in India, Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT) is emerging as a standout name. Launched in 2024, Knowledge Realty Trust is a professionally managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) designed to provide stable, long-term returns backed by a high quality portfolio of office properties across India.Why Knowledge Realty Trust Stands Out
Largest Office REIT in India by Asset Value
As of March 31, 2025, Knowledge Realty Trust has a Gross Asset Value of approximately ₹61,998.9 crore, making it the largest office REIT in India. It also ranks among the largest globally by total leasable area, reflecting its scale and ambition.
Wide and Diversified Geographic Presence
The portfolio spans six major Indian cities including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram and GIFT City. This widespread presence across the top commercial hubs reduces geographic risk and ensures exposure to strong and diverse demand drivers across India’s rapidly developing office markets.
Large Premium Grade A Office Assets
Knowledge Realty Trust owns a portfolio of around 29 to 30 Grade A office assets with a total leasable area of about 46.3 million square feet. This includes completed developments, under construction spaces and future expansion areas. These assets consist of modern business parks and city center offices with high quality infrastructure and amenities that meet the needs of global and domestic corporate tenants.
High Occupancy and Tenant Diversity
As of March 2025, Knowledge Realty Trust recorded a strong committed occupancy rate of 91.4 percent. Its tenant base includes multinational corporations, global capability centers and top Indian companies. The broad tenant mix ensures diversified rental income and reduces reliance on any specific sector.
The 2025 IPO A Landmark Milestone for Knowledge Realty Trust
In August 2025, Knowledge Realty Trust launched a ₹4,800 crore IPO with a price band of ₹95 to ₹100 per unit. The IPO gained significant traction among institutional and retail investors. Prior to the public issue, KRT also raised around ₹1,620 crore from anchor investors, reflecting strong market confidence.
With the successful listing, Knowledge Realty Trust became the largest office REIT in India by asset value. This marked a new milestone not only for the company but also for the Indian commercial real estate investment landscape.
What Knowledge Realty Trust Means for Investors and the Market
For investors, Knowledge Realty Trust offers the opportunity to participate in high quality office real estate without directly owning or managing property. Investors can benefit from rental income, long term asset value appreciation and exposure to a professionally managed, diversified real estate portfolio.
For the commercial property market, KRT represents the growing institutionalization of real estate in India. Its large scale, strong fundamentals and professional management practices support stability, transparency and long term growth in the office sector.
As India continues to expand as a global destination for IT, corporate headquarters and business parks, the demand for Grade A office assets is set to increase. Knowledge Realty Trust is well positioned to capture this growing momentum.
Final Thoughts
Knowledge Realty Trust reflects a modern approach to real estate investment in India with a focus on scale, diversification and long term stability. Whether you are an investor seeking consistent returns or someone following the future of India’s office real estate market, Knowledge Realty Trust is an important name to watch.
