Indus Infra Trust

- Indus Infra Trust plans to raise equity in FY27 to fund acquisition of assets worth around INR 8,000 to 9,000 crores. - Equity raise expected to be around 40% to 45% of the acquisition cost, approximately INR 3,800 to 4,000 crores. - Debt to equity mix aimed to be approximately 55%-60% debt and 40%-42% equity for funding acquisitions. - Current gross debt level is about 47%-48% of AUM, with room to raise more debt within thresholds but equity raising needed for large acquisitions. - Additional external borrowing of INR 1,326 crores was availed at Trust level recently for refinancing existing debt. - No specific closed debt raising levels disclosed yet; marginally higher cost expected for new borrowings due to yield movements. - Fundraising strategy includes maintaining some buffer equity ("watchers") for quick acquisitions without delay.

- Indus Infra Trust plans to start exploring and potentially participating in TOT (Toll-Operate-Transfer) assets, especially as the pipeline from NHAI is strong. They may evaluate or participate in tenders from FY'27 onwards, with more focus from FY'28. - The Trust has a pipe of non-Greenfield Roads (non-GR) HAM assets but admits it is not very strong due to intense competition from other InvITs and funds. - Acquisition strategy focuses on selective pockets and yield accretion rather than merely increasing AUM. - They aim to add INR 8,000-8,500 crore of AUM through acquisitions this fiscal, including assets under ROFO with KNR and GR, plus some third-party assets. - Equity raising around INR 3,800 to INR 4,000 crore planned in the fiscal year to fund acquisitions. - Capital maintenance includes major maintenance activities scheduled for two assets (Phagwara-Rupnagar and Varanasi-Sangam) this year.

- Indus Infra Trust expects significant AUM growth, targeting an incremental addition of INR 8,000-8,500 crores in FY27, potentially reaching around INR 18,000 crores by year-end. - Growth driven by acquisitions primarily from ROFO assets with KNR and GR, and selective third-party acquisitions. - Exploring new avenues such as TOT (Toll-Operate-Transfer) assets, with potential participation starting FY27 and more actively from FY28. - Revenue growth underpinned by steady annuity inflows from existing and new assets; new acquisitions planned for Q1 and Q2 FY27 with annuity benefits expected from H2 onwards. - Distribution per unit (DPU) guidance raised to a minimum INR 14 for FY27, reflecting anticipated higher cash flows post acquisitions. - Pipeline competition exists but focus remains on yield accretive, quality assets rather than merely expanding AUM.

- Indus Infra Trust expects continued growth through acquisition of yield-accretive assets, with an incremental AUM addition of INR 8,000-8,500 crores planned for FY27. - Guidance for FY27 distribution per unit (DPU) is set at a minimum of INR 14, up from INR 13.5 in FY26, supported by new assets acquired mainly in Q1 and Q2. - Earnings growth is anticipated as annuities from new acquisitions start flowing in from the second half of FY27. - EBITDA for Q4 FY26 was INR 183.72 crores, reflecting stable operating earnings; with expanding asset base, operating profits are projected to improve. - Interest income increased due to higher loan extension to SPVs, indicating growth in finance income components. - The strategy focuses on stable and predictable distributions alongside disciplined capital allocation rather than rapid asset growth. - Acquisition IRRs range broadly from 12% to 13.5%, sustaining accretive contributions to earnings. - Capital repayment forms a significant part of distributions, reflecting cash flow management aligned with growth plans.
