Any financial stress at the Sponsor level would directly impact the Trust’s ability to distribute cash. * **Regulatory Size Constraints:** Infrastructure status requires assets to be at least **1,00,000 sq. ft.** with a **₹25 crore** minimum investment. This prevents the Trust from entering the high-growth **Quick Commerce (dark store)** segment. * **Public Float Requirement:** The Trust must increase public unitholding from **13%** to **25%** by **October 25, 2026**. This may necessitate significant secondary offerings or unit issuances. * **Operational Dependency:** Heavy reliance on **RPPMSL** for maintenance and project execution. * **Leverage Limits:** While currently at **45.5%** gearing, expansion beyond the **49%** threshold requires specific unitholder approvals and a track record of six continuous distributions. --- ### **Management & Governance Fees** The Trust is managed by professional entities with fixed fee structures to ensure cost predictability: * **Investment Manager:** **Infinite India Investment Management Limited** (Fee: **₹2.00 crore** p.a.). * **Project Manager:** **Jio Infrastructure Management Services Limited** (Fee: **₹2.00 crore** p.a.). * **Trustee:** **Axis Trustee Services Limited**.
