Commenting on the performance, Mr. Hare Krishna, CEO of Capital Infra Trust, said: "Q1 FY27 marks another step forward in Capital Infra Trust's journey of delivering stable yields today while building a larger and stronger platform for tomorrow. During the quarter, we declared a distribution of ₹2.32 per unit, supported by our portfolio of operational HAM assets that continue to generate predictable annuity-backed cash flows and reinforce the resilience of our business model.

What differentiates our platform is its ability to remain resilient across market cycles. With annuity receipts linked to prevailing interest rates, largely fixed operating costs and an optimized debt structure, our portfolio is naturally positioned to withstand macroeconomic volatility while preserving cash flow visibility and distribution sustainability. At the same time, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet. Net debt remained comfortable at 41.1% and our effective borrowing cost reduced further to 7.24%, enhancing financial flexibility and providing capacity to fund future growth opportunities in a disciplined manner.

Looking ahead, FY27 is expected to be a transformative year for the Trust. We are currently undertaking due diligence on six sponsor-owned HAM assets which, upon successful acquisition, have the potential to increase our AUM by nearly 50% to approximately ₹100 billion, expand our portfolio from 12 to 18 assets, deepen our presence across India, and extend annuity visibility largely to 2040. These acquisitions are not merely about scale; they are intended to enhance portfolio quality, support NAV accretion, diversify cash flows and strengthen our ability to deliver predictable and sustainable distributions over the long term. Backed by a healthy balance sheet, a robust ROFO pipeline and disciplined capital allocation, we remain well positioned to create enduring value for our unitholders."

FY27 Guidance:

o DPU: ₹9.0 - ₹9.25 per unit

o Six HAM Assets under due diligence, targeted for acquisition in FY27
