Live Events

The InvIT has reported net losses in recent years, including a loss of Rs 219 crore for the nine months ended December 2025, mainly due to high amortisation and financing costs, which are common for infrastructure vehicles. Revenue during the same period stood at Rs 1,570 crore.

Unlike traditional IPOs, InvITs are usually assessed on cash yield and distribution potential rather than net profit. Investors generally focus on stable operating cash flows from the underlying assets and regular income distributions.

The trust has a large and diversified portfolio of project SPVs, with toll assets contributing 82.30% and annuity assets contributing 17.70% of total cash revenue receipts for FY25.

According to the CRISIL report, the toll assets have a long operating history of 10.13 years and a weighted average residual concession life of 12.93 years by enterprise value weight as of December 31, 2025.
