Adroit Financial Services Private Ltd

As per the brokerage, the Trust is initiating its IPO with a total value of ₹1,578 crore, which comprises fresh units amounting to ₹1,077 crore and an OFS totaling ₹501 crore. The price range has been established between ₹99 and ₹100 per unit. The capital raised will be utilized to pay off external debts and unsecured loans, thereby improving project funding capabilities. In light of the positive growth in India’s infrastructure, especially in roads and highways, the brokerage advises to “SUBSCRIBE” to the offering.

Canara Bank Securities Ltd

As per the brokerage’s analysis, the positive growth trajectory of India’s road infrastructure, supported by increased government investment and public-private partnerships (PPP), indicates ongoing sector expansion. Garwar Developer’s strong project lineup and established track record further strengthen the value proposition of the InvIT.

However, there are risks to consider, such as potential asset overvaluation, delays in receiving annuity payments, increasing interest rates, and operational hurdles. The InvIT’s consistent income and significant growth prospects make it appealing to long-term institutional investors. Investors should keep a close eye on asset valuations, changes in interest rates, and any delays in government payments.

In summary, this model offers a compelling investment opportunity within India’s infrastructure space. The brokerage advises subscribing for the long term for investors willing to take on risks, especially in light of the lack of Net Asset Value (NAV) for evaluating the company’s valuation.
