  "summary": "The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has reduced the cooling-off period for the offer for sale (OFS) of units of illiquid private listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to eight weeks, effective immediately. This change, announced in a circular on November 2, aims to facilitate ease of doing business and follows feedback from market participants. The revised cooling-off period applies to private listed InvITs whose units are illiquid and is incorporated into the existing OFS framework governing the sale of units of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and InvITs through the stock exchange mechanism. The broader OFS framework for equity shares of listed companies will also apply to the sale of REIT and InvIT units, subject to certain conditions.",
