Structured finance, private equity, and public offerings drive a new global real estate and infrastructure age. Given the necessity for increased capital in funding infrastructure projects, a range of equity instruments can be employed to attract institutional investors in both advanced and emerging economies. In recent years, infrastructure sectors, including roads, highways, ports, power, and real estate, have seen increased financial demand and investment trusts have become critical in meeting India’s infrastructural needs. Especially in India, Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) play a vital role in establishing a well-balanced risk management system, which is essential for addressing infrastructure needs and fulfilling the financial requirements of developers. InvITs were established under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Regulations, 2014, to attract global and local long-term investments for public-private partnership (PPP) and infrastructure projects and to fill gaps in traditional project financing. Despite initial expectations, few projects have utilized this structure since its inception. The author’s review, incorporating doctrinal legal research, analyzes the regulatory framework surrounding InvITs in India. The paper contributes to the literature, emphasizing evidence of India’s programmatic approach to enhancing infrastructure financing and showcasing structural and financial reforms in InvITs governance as integral components of the nation’s strategy.

The importance of digital technologies for social and economic developments and a growing focus on data collection and privacy concerns have made the internet a salient and visible issue in global politics. The internet has transformed how we do business and created new opportunities for cross-border trade and investment, enabling small businesses worldwide to connect with customers and suppliers in the global market. In this chapter, the author conceptualizes the digital media business in India, which utilizes the internet to create the biggest platform for commerce worldwide. The author discusses regulations that are required in the cyber law and the safe harbour rule of cyber law, which is constantly harnessed by the digital media and e-commerce companies that act as intermediaries to protect them from the actions of the end-user on their platform.

As has been the case around the world, the real estate sector has played a pivotal role in the overall growth process of the Indian economy. Since the privatisation of the Indian economy in 1991, the government of India has introduced a variety of investment instruments to capture the interest of millions of potential investors over the last three decades. One such instrument is the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). In order to make the market more accessible to investors interested in REIT investments, the Draft Regulations were introduced in 2007. Following numerous modifications, the REIT regulations were finally ratified in 2014 by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. The Indian REIT regulations are aimed at providing an organized market of retail investors in aprofessionally managed ecosystem. However, since its launch in 2014, the REIT regime in India has failed to attract the expected number of investors. Through this paper, the legal structure of REITs in India is reflected, along with changes experienced up to the 2019 amendment. This study also takes a comparative approach in examining the structural aspects of Indian regulations in comparison to those of other countries, and comes up with some recommendations for the improvement of REIT regulations in India.

As the Cryptocurrency is becoming popular in the world and in India, it is also becoming targets of various illegal activities such as money laundering and cybersecurity breaches. Considering its emergence in India, it is important to examine the issues and scope it entails for the Indian economy. Because of the potential use of cryptocurrencies to hide black money and in terror financing, the government in India is not recognising it as a valid tender. However, the government has not necessarily closed the door on future regulation of cryptocurrencies. Therefore, despite operating in grey area, the sector continues to grow. The paper briefly describes the nuances and the current state of the affairs in relation to the cryptocurrencies across the globe, provides a legal and regulatory perspective of cryptocurrencies in India, discusses the issue of cybersecurity in the digital payment ecosystem, and concludes with a list of challenges and way forward.
