Revenue guidance

Category 4
  • Toll revenue for Q2 FY24 grew by around 10% compared to the corresponding quarter last year, driven by strong performance in Tumkur Chitradurga, Omalur Salem, and Jaipur Deoli projects.
  • Some softening of traffic was observed in Talegaon Amravati and Pathankot Amritsar projects.
  • Management anticipates better performance in the second half of the fiscal year, supported by upcoming festivities and historical seasonal trends.
  • Tariff rate revisions (~5% for four major projects and 1.2% for Omalur Salem) effective April 1, 2023, are expected to enhance revenue.
  • Acquisition of new assets, particularly HAM and BOT projects, is expected to improve yield and potentially increase revenue, with at least one HAM asset acquisition expected within a year.
  • The net debt to asset value ratio of 0.3:1 and AAA credit ratings provide sufficient capacity to fund growth through acquisitions.

Capex plans

Yes
  • IRB InvIT Fund is looking to acquire new assets to improve yield and unit price.
  • Three HAM assets from the Sponsor are targeted for acquisition over three years.
  • The first HAM asset acquisition is expected within the next 6 to 8 months, likely within one year.
  • Apart from Sponsor assets, third-party assets (both Toll BOT and HAM) are being evaluated.
  • Preference for acquisition is based on whether assets can maintain or improve current payouts to unitholders.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • The management expects to maintain a minimum distribution of Rs. 8 per unit in the coming years, indicating stable earnings and payouts.
  • Growth in toll revenues was 10% year-on-year for the quarter ended September 2023, driven mainly by projects like Tumkur Chitradurga, Omalur Salem, and Jaipur Deoli.
  • Some traffic softening was observed in Talegaon Amravati and Pathankot Amritsar projects, impacting revenue growth.
  • Upcoming tariff rate revisions (around 4% effective April 2024) for key projects are expected to positively impact revenues.
  • New asset acquisitions, including HAM and Toll BOT projects, are being evaluated; adding yield-accretive assets is seen as a strategy to improve unit price and returns.
  • Stable credit rating (AAA) and low net debt to asset value ratio (0.3:1) provide capacity to fund growth and potentially increase distributions.
  • Arbitration resolution (e.g., Tumkur Chitradurga by June 2024) and compensation receipts will further support earnings stability.
