SEBI has established regulatory guidelines allowing overseas institutions to issue foreign-currency depositary receipts backed by Indian real estate and infrastructure trusts. Entities that want to list concurrently in India and abroad must obtain approvals from both domestic and international bourses. Furthermore, the underlying units cannot be priced below what is offered to domestic investors for a comparable issuance. For privately placed InvITs, participation in fresh issuances is restricted strictly to foreign institutional investors and corporate bodies.

SEBI said REITs and InvITs proposing to list in India and simultaneously issue depositary receipts must seek approval from both the Indian exchange as well as the international exchange involved
Any fresh issue of depositary receipts will require approval from at least 75% of unitholders
Units issued for depositary receipts cannot be priced lower than the price offered to Indian investors for a similar offering, the framework adds
Any fresh issue of depositary receipts on units of a privately placed InvIT can be subscribed to only by foreign institutional investors and corporate bodies, as per the framework for InvITs
REITs and InvITs listed in India already accept foreign investment, subject to government and central bank rules.
