Fundraise plans

Yes
  • The InvIT is planning a new asset acquisition valued at around ₹85 billion (enterprise value) for 3 BOT assets from Private InvIT.
  • The acquisition will be funded through a mix of debt and equity; existing project debt is ₹38 billion.
  • The management intends to maintain a debt-to-asset ratio between 45% to 49%, aiming for close to a 1:1 debt-equity mix.

  • The transaction timeline is targeted at 2-3 months for closing.
  • Rights issue is being considered as a preferred fund-raising route to give existing unitholders participation opportunity, but the final decision will consider unit holders' feedback and SEBI regulations.
