Powergrid Infrastructure Investment Trust is seeking unitholder approval to appoint M/s. IndiaAppraisers.com Pvt. Ltd (IAPL) as its independent valuer for a two-year term covering FY27 and FY28. The trust initiated a postal ballot through remote e-voting to secure this mandate, which is required under Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations following the completion of the previous valuer's maximum tenure. Unitholders holding units as of the July 31, 2026 cut-off date are eligible to vote, with the e-voting window open from August 4, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. (IST) until August 24, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. (IST). The outcome of the ballot will determine the valuation partner responsible for assessing the trust’s Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and assets for the next two fiscal years.
The appointment process was triggered by Regulation 21(9) of the SEBI (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014, which mandates that a valuer cannot undertake valuation for the same project for more than four consecutive years. M/s INMACS Valuers Private Limited served as the valuer from FY23 to FY26. Following a bidding process and recommendation from the Audit Committee on July 28, 2026, the Board of Directors of Powergrid Unchahar Transmission Limited, the investment manager, approved IAPL’s appointment subject to unitholder consent. The resolution requires a simple majority for passage.
The remuneration structure for IAPL is fixed per SPV instance and varies by valuation frequency. The fees are inclusive of all charges except applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST), which will be billed separately.
| Valuation Type | Remuneration Structure |
|---|---|
| Full valuation per IPA/SPV at fiscal year-end | ₹47,000 per SPV per instance |
| Full valuation of new asset(s) for acquisition | 100% of fiscal year-end fee per SPV |
| Half-Yearly Valuation | 60% of fiscal year-end fee per SPV |
| Quarterly Valuation | 60% of fiscal year-end fee per SPV |
IAPL, registered with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) under number IBBI/RV-E/07/2020/129, is authorized to conduct valuations across land and building, plant and machinery, and securities or financial assets. The firm brings over three decades of experience in providing independent valuation opinions. The voting rights are proportional to the units held in the PGInvIT unit capital as of the cut-off date. Unitholders may cast their votes via the depositories’ e-voting systems or directly through KFin Technologies Limited’s platform.
