Overview

About

Blacksoil Realty Trust (IN/AIF2/13-14/0052) is a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund (registered May 2013) managed by Blacksoil Asset Management Private Limited (BAMPL), the AIF arm of Blacksoil Capital Private Limited. It was BlackSoil's inaugural fund — launched when the AIF framework was first announced in 2013 — focused on residential real estate debt financing. The fund deployed INR 4.8 billion (approximately INR 480 crore) in real estate and exited its last investments, clocking a 19% gross IRR over its lifecycle. BlackSoil subsequently exited the real estate lending business entirely (by FY2022) and the legacy real estate book was fully run down by FY2024. Blacksoil Realty Trust is therefore a mature/legacy fund. The fund is headquartered at 1203, Lodha Supremus, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai.

Investment Philosophy

As BlackSoil's earliest fund, Blacksoil Realty Trust deployed real estate debt financing strategies — providing structured debt to residential developers. The fund focused on capital preservation through disciplined risk management, targeting high-quality real estate developers with visible exit timelines. BlackSoil subsequently broadened its mandate to venture debt and alternative credit after recognising the opportunity beyond real estate in 2016.
