India's Rs 15.74 Lakh Crore AIF Industry — What the Headline Conceals
SEBI's published AIF commitments headline is Rs 15.74 lakh crore as of December 2025. Decomposed by funnel stage and category: only 41% is deployed into investments, one category (Cat II) holds 74% of all commitments, and the blended 41% deployment rate hides two structurally opposite category behaviours.

That national mean is a weighted average of a 16.15-point state spread (RAOSCAFF arithmetic) from Kerala 6.61% to Madhya Pradesh 22.76%, two economically distinct failure modes, and three publishers reporting three different correct values for the same concept.

Brookfield's +52% Q4 NOI against +11% FY26 DPU is the widest gap — acquisition arithmetic, not payout engineering. The four REITs' own Q4 FY26 disclosures are the anchor.
