IRDAI may ease norms for insurance cos to invest more in REITs, InvITs

Insurance companies might soon invest more in real estate and infrastructure trusts! The regulator is looking at a combined 6% limit, up from 3% each. This comes after strong interest in recent infrastructure offerings, with people saying, "insurers would not get 6% separately." It's a move to help them invest in these long-term yield assets.
