Citius TransNet Investment Trust has announced a postal ballot notice to seek approval from its unitholders regarding the enhancement of its aggregate consolidated borrowings and deferred payments. The resolution proposes that the trust, along with its HoldCos and Project SPVs, be authorized to borrow sums such that the total does not exceed 49% of the value of the InvIT's assets.
The Investment Manager, EAAA TransInfra Managers Limited, stated that the approval is required pursuant to Regulation 20(3) of the SEBI (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014.
