Management Commentary
Commenting on the quarter, Harsh Shah, Managing Director of IndiGrid, said, "The last 12-15 months have been defining for IndiGrid. We continued our strong operational performance and expansion of our portfolio pipeline. Earlier this month, we successfully commissioned GBPL – our landmark 180 MW / 360 MWh Battery Energy Storage System project in Gujarat – reinforcing IndiGrid's position at the forefront of India's evolving energy transition landscape. Alongside steady revenue growth and healthy operating performance, we have consistently provided 3-5% growth in our DPU year-on-year, reflecting the strategic discipline and resilience of our underlying cash flows. With a robust pipeline of operational and under-construction assets across our chosen sectors, we remain well positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value to our unitholders. As India's energy transition gathers pace, IndiGrid continues to focus on operational excellence, innovation, and building next-generation infrastructure platforms that support the country's growing and increasingly dynamic power needs."
