Given NHIT's 90% year-over-year growth in standalone net profit for FY26, what distribution growth trajectory can unitholders realistically expect for FY27?
With NHIT's road asset portfolio spanning 2,653 kms across 13 states, are there plans to expand the asset base through new NHAI highway acquisitions that could further boost enterprise valuation beyond Rs. 56,988 Crores?
How might rising interest rates or changes in NHAI's toll collection policies impact NHIT's Interest Pass-Through distributions, which currently constitute 99.5% of total distributions?
