Key Considerations & Watchouts
- Price-to-NAV Valuation Spread: Investors should consider the prevailing discount or over-valuation of the market unit price (reference: ₹93.75) relative to the audited NAV of ₹90.79/unit when assessing entry yield and margin of safety.
- Leverage & Interest Rate Sensitivity: While current leverage (5.8% LTV) is conservative, market unit prices and NDCF yields remain sensitive to RBI policy rate cycles and debt-funded acquisitions.
- Distribution Tax Mix: Unitholder post-tax yield depends on the quarterly NDCF split between Interest (taxed at marginal slab rate), Dividend, and Return of Capital (ROC).
- Concession Life & Tariff Resets: Infrastructure InvIT cash flows are finite-life concessions where long-term NAV trajectory depends on residual concession tenure, traffic/availability compliance, and debt-funded asset additions.
