Revenue 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.

Capex plans

Yes
- PGInvIT has commissioned the Bus reactor at Kala Amb Substation (RTM project) in Feb 2024; tariff to be decided by the regulator (CERC). - PPTL SPV is implementing a 400 kV line bay at Parli under RTM, expected to be commissioned by Dec 31, 2025. - The Trust plans to acquire the balance 26% stake in four SPVs from POWERGRID, expected in FY24-25 as per the Share Purchase Agreement. - Discussions are underway with some States for acquisition of intra-state transmission assets, but this will take time due to approvals and new government guidelines. - PGInvIT is evaluating private sector acquisition opportunities, expected to pick pace in 12-18 months once relevant assets mature. - Overall, future acquisitions depend on operational suitability, regulatory compliance, and unitholder interest. - No immediate investments in generation or solar assets, citing lack of experience and higher risk. Thus, current/future capex mainly involves ongoing RTM projects and strategic acquisitions focused on transmission assets.
