Bagmane Prime Office REIT, backed by private equity major Blackstone and the Bagmane Group, has filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus for a ₹4,000 crore initial public offering in India. The proposed offer combines a ₹3,000 crore fresh issue with a ₹1,000 crore offer for sale, and will be used mainly to fund two significant acquisitions and to support general corporate needs.
Bagmane Prime Office REIT IPO outlook
The REIT plans to use net proceeds of the fresh issue to acquire Luxor at Bagmane Capital Tech Park, a 1.0 million square foot property, for ₹1,775 crore. In addition, up to ₹1,025 crore will be applied to part-fund the purchase of a 93.00% stake in Bagmane Rio, which owns the 1.1 million square foot Bagmane Rio Business Park. Remaining funds, capped at 10% of net proceeds, are earmarked for general corporate purposes and operational exigencies.
Bagmane Office REIT already holds a portfolio of six Grade A+ business parks covering 20.3 million square feet in total, with 16.1 million square feet completed and 0.7 million square feet occupied by two hotels under construction providing 607 keys. As of 30 June 2025 the portfolio displayed strong tenant demand with a committed occupancy rate of 97.9%.
The REIT’s tenant roster includes global technology names such as Google, Amazon and Nvidia, along with other leading firms according to a JLL report cited in the DRHP. Of the 6.3 million square feet leased between April 2022 and June 2025, 6.0 million square feet or 95.8% was leased to existing tenants, signalling significant retention and expansion by current occupiers.
On a balance-sheet basis Bagmane Prime Office REIT reported a gross asset value of ₹38,790 crore as of 30 June 2025. The transaction, if completed as outlined in the DRHP, would expand the REIT’s scale and reinforce its exposure to tech-focused demand corridors.
The IPO arrives against a backdrop of expanding interest in Indian REITs. Since the first Indian REIT listing in 2019 the sector has grown rapidly with public vehicles such as Embassy, Mindspace, Brookfield India, Nexus and Knowledge Realty Trust joining the market. ANAROCK data shows Indian REIT indices have delivered roughly a five-year annualised price return of over 8.9%, outperforming many regional peers in Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong.
Market players will also note recent activity from other Blackstone-backed vehicles. Horizon Industrial Parks filed for a ₹2,600 crore IPO earlier, indicating continued private capital appetite to bring large real estate platforms to public markets in India.
JM Financial, Kotak Mahindra Capital, Axis Capital, IIFL Capital, SBI Capital Markets, 360 ONE WAM, HDFC Bank and KFin Technologies serve as book-running managers for the offer. The proposed listing will be closely watched by investors seeking income-yielding real estate exposure and by institutions assessing the depth of India’s REIT market.
Investors will likely assess the acquisition pricing, tenant concentration, lease rollover profile and the broader interest rate environment when evaluating the IPO. If completed, the bagmane prime office reit ipo would be among the larger new issuances in India’s real estate sector this year and would add further scale to the country’s maturing REIT market.
