    “At present, we are working on '26. And as we have committed that we'll give you INR12, as we are doing in a same manner. And I'm sure that when the '27 will come, we'll surely declare that at that time.”

    Analysts are seeking clarity on future distribution beyond the current FY26 commitment, especially given potential revenue declines from existing assets.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q3 FY26 Financial Performance

    PGInvIT reported a total consolidated income of ₹3,249 million for Q3 FY26, with revenue from operations contributing ₹3,167 million and other income ₹82 million. Total expenses for the quarter stood at ₹1,177 million, resulting in a net distributable cash flow (NDCF) of INR2,614 million. The trust maintained high operational efficiency, with average availability across all SPVs exceeding 99.75%.

    02

    Distribution and Shareholder Returns

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, PGInvIT declared a distribution of ₹3 per unit, marking the 18th consecutive quarterly payout. This brings the cumulative distribution since listing to ₹55.50 per unit, totaling ₹50.51 billion distributed to investors against an IPO issue price of ₹100 per unit. Management reiterated its commitment to a ₹12 per unit distribution for the full fiscal year 2026.

    03

    Debt Profile and Capital Structure

    As of December 31, 2025, PGInvIT's outstanding external borrowing was ₹10,661 million. This includes a ₹5,756 million loan from HDFC Bank in March 2022 and a new ₹5,060 million loan from HDFC Bank in December 2024 to fund acquisitions. The prevailing interest rates on these floated rate loans are 6.56% and 6.75%, respectively, with a net borrowing ratio of 5.22%, providing significant headroom for future debt-funded acquisitions.

    04

    Acquisition Strategy and Pipeline

    PGInvIT is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities, acknowledging the near-term challenge of limited availability of transmission assets. The company has received in-principle approval to form a consortium with POWERGRID to participate in up to two tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) projects with an aggregate project cost of around ₹500 crores. This initiative aims to leverage the sizable pipeline of upcoming transmission projects and secure future growth.

    05

    State Asset Monetization Initiatives

    The trust is engaging with various states regarding their asset monetization plans, viewing this as a potential new avenue for acquisition opportunities. A workshop organized by CEA in December 2024 saw participation from almost 20 states, indicating growing interest in monetizing transmission assets. While policy decisions and procedures may take time to materialize, PGInvIT is actively working on these opportunities.

    06

    Future Revenue Outlook and Diversification

    Management noted a visibility of revenue decline from FY27-28 for some existing SPVs based on their tariff patterns, highlighting the need for continuous asset acquisitions to sustain distributions. While the primary focus remains on transmission projects, PGInvIT is evaluating the possibility of diversification into other power generation projects internally. However, management emphasized that cost-cutting opportunities are minimal due to already high EBITDA margins and efficient operations.
