Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 4- The Trust observed a 3% growth in toll revenue in Q1 FY25 compared to the previous year, despite softening of traffic due to elections and early monsoon impacts.
- Toll hike of ~2.5% was implemented effective June 3, 2024, which should contribute positively to revenue.
- Management expects payout in the next 2-3 years to remain at similar levels, translating to 12-14% yield.
- Traffic volumes are expected to recover post-election impact, with temporary dips like mining restrictions at Pathankot also expected to normalize.
- Addition of new assets (HAM assets from the Sponsor Group like VM7 and Pathankot Mandi expected to complete in FY25, and Chittoor-Thachur in FY26) should support growth once operational.
- No significant impact expected from transition to satellite-based tolling; revenue is expected to remain neutral.
- Overall, management aims for steady growth supported by strategic asset acquisitions and tariff revisions.
