The Trust declared a total distribution of ₹7,516.31 million (₹1.695 per unit), reflecting a payout ratio of 99.95% of its Net Distributable Cash Flows (NDCF). This marks a 5% sequential rise in distributions compared to the previous quarter, signaling stable cash generation capabilities despite high debt servicing costs.

The Board of Directors, meeting on July 28, 2026, approved the unaudited consolidated financial results. Revenue from operations stood at ₹12,430.56 million, up from ₹11,965.46 million in the preceding quarter. The Trust’s committed occupancy reached 93%, an improvement of 100 basis points quarter-on-quarter, across its portfolio of 29 assets spanning six cities with a total leasable area of 46 million square feet. The results were prepared in accordance with SEBI (Real Estate Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014, and Ind AS 34.

Financial Performance

The Trust recorded Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of ₹10,720.73 million for the quarter, compared to ₹9,758.29 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Profit before tax was ₹4,230.14 million, resulting in a net profit of ₹2,507.96 million. Earnings per unit (basic and diluted) were ₹0.57, a significant improvement from ₹0.24 in the previous quarter. Finance costs remained elevated at ₹2,390.08 million, while depreciation and amortization expenses totaled ₹4,100.51 million.

Distribution Details

The total distribution of ₹7,516.31 million is structured to optimize tax efficiency and balance sheet health. It comprises ₹4,088.52 million as dividend, ₹1,232.76 million as interest, ₹2,190.59 million as repayment of debt, and ₹4.43 million from other income. Unitholders must hold units on the record date of July 31, 2026, to be eligible, with payments scheduled by August 7, 2026. The statutory auditors, S R BC&CO LLP, issued a limited review report on the financial results.

What the Numbers Show

The 15% year-on-year growth in NOI highlights the operational leverage gained from the portfolio acquisitions completed in September 2025. With comparable figures for the prior year unavailable due to these acquisitions, the sequential growth in revenue and EBITDA indicates strong leasing momentum. The near-full payout ratio of 99.95% underscores the Trust’s commitment to returning cash to investors, while the significant portion allocated to debt repayment suggests a strategic focus on deleveraging. The absence of material deviation in the use of proceeds from its Initial Public Offer and Non-Convertible Debentures reinforces governance transparency.

The consolidated results include subsidiaries such as One International Center Private Limited, Cessna Garden Developers Private Limited, and Sattva Knowledge Centre Private Limited. The Trust operates in a single segment: leasing of commercial office buildings and parks. Figures for the year ended March 31, 2026, do not represent full-year data due to the mid-year acquisition of Special Purpose Vehicles.
