InvIT Market Dynamics and Future Outlook

Investors in infrastructure investment trusts should consider inherent risks. These include asset concentration within the power sector and potential challenges with refinancing capabilities, given their reliance on debt for new acquisitions.

IndiGrid’s future performance hinges on its capacity to acquire new income-generating assets without escalating debt or diluting existing value. Further divestments by other large institutional holders could also influence market dynamics.
