Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 4- PGInvIT expects minimal growth without new asset acquisitions; existing assets' revenue profiles are dipping.
- Distribution is guided at Rs. 12 per unit for FY24-25, but sustaining this beyond 2-3 years without acquisitions is uncertain.
- Focus remains on acquiring the balance 26% stake in four SPVs from POWERGRID, completing a committed share purchase agreement.
- Management is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities in intra-state transmission sectors from States, although this is expected to take time due to approvals.
- There is cautiousness about entering new sectors like generation or solar due to lack of expertise and higher risks.
- Monetization of state power transmission assets under the Government of India’s Asset Monetization Program is seen as a significant future growth avenue.
- Any acquisition must provide value accretion above cost of debt plus risk premium; fresh asset acquisition is key to meaningful revenue growth.
