Powergrid Infrastructure Investment Trust has published newspaper advertisements for its Notice of Postal Ballot, seeking unitholder approval to appoint M/s. IndiaAppraisers.com Pvt. Ltd (IAPL) as its independent valuer. The trust requires this mandate to comply with 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 via remote e-voting, with the window open from August 4, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. (IST) until August 24, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. (IST). This appointment is critical as it determines the valuation partner responsible for assessing the trust’s Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and assets for FY27 and FY28.

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.

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.
