32    Under the provisions of the REIT Regulations, the Trust is required to distribute to Unitholders not less than 90% of the net distributable cash flows of the Trust at least once in every six months in each financial year. Accordingly, a portion of the Unit Capital contains a contractual obligation of the Trust to pay to its Unitholders. Hence, the Unit Capital is a compound financial instrument which contain both equity and liability components in accordance with Ind AS 32-Financial Instruments: Presentation. However, in accordance with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/DDHS-PoD-2/P/CIR/2023/116 dated July 06, 2023 (as amended from time to time) issued under the REIT Regulations, the unit capital have been classified as equity in order to comply with the mandatory requirements of Section H of Chapter 3 to the SEBI master circular dated July 06, 2023 (as amended from time to time) dealing with the minimum disclosures for key financial statements.

The level of fair values are defined below:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Â
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year ended March 31, 2025
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
i)    The fair value of mutual funds are based on NAV at reporting date and fair value of compulsory convertible debentures is based on the terms and condition specific to compulsory convertible debentures
ii) Â Â Â The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities are considered to be equivalent to their carrying values.
The Board of Directors of the Manager of the Trust has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Trustâs risk management framework. The Trustâs risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Trust, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Trustâs activities.
The Board of Directors of the Manager of the Trust, monitors compliance with the Trustâs risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Trust. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Trust if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Trustâs receivables from loans given to its SPVâs and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The Trust establishes an allowance account for impairment that represents its estimate of losses in respect of its financial assets. The main component of this allowance is estimated losses that relate to counterparties. The allowance account is used to provide for impairment losses. Subsequently when the Trust is satisfied that no recovery of such losses is possible, the financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is then written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.
Cash at bank and fixed deposits are placed with financial institutions which are regulated and have low risk.
As at the reporting date, there is no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset on the Standalone Balance Sheet.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the trust will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Trustâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Trustâs reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Trustâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out by the management of the Trust in accordance with practice and limits set by the Trust. In addition, the Trustâs liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet those, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios and maintaining debt refinancing plans.
The following are the Trustâs remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities as the reporting date. The contractual cash flows reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Trust may be required to pay and includes contractual interest payments and excludes the impact of netting agreements. The Trust believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements, accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.
III Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices which will affect the Trustâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return.
The Trust operates only in India and hence does not have any exposure to currency risk.
Price risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities as a result of changes in market prices of investments. The Trust has no material exposure to equity securities price risk and is not exposed to commodity risk. The Trustâs exposure to price risk arises from investments held by the Trust in mutual funds and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through statement of profit or loss. The fair value of these investments is marked to an active market. The financial assets carried at fair value by the Trust are mainly investments in liquid and overnight debt mutual funds and accordingly no material volatility is expected.

The Trustâs policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Trustâs capital structure mainly constitutes equity in the form of unit capital and debt. The Trust manages its capital to ensure that the the Trust will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to unitholders through an optimum mix of debt and equity within the overall capital structure. The Trust governing board reviews the capital structure of the Trust considering the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.
The Trustâs capital structure is influenced by the changes in regulatory framework, government policies, available options of financing and the impact of the same on the liquidity position.
The Trust monitors capital using a ratio of âadjusted net debtâ to âadjusted equityâ. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, including interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and interest accrued on fixed deposits. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity.
(a)    Extending loans to SPVâs for capital expenditure, repayment of debt obligation of the Trust and SPVâs (including replenishing of ODâs) and payment of fees and expenses in relation to the issue.
(b)    There are no deviations in the use of proceeds from the objects stated in the offer document or between projected utilization of funds made in the offer document and the actual utilization of funds.
The Trust has only one operating segment. Hence, disclosure under Ind AS 108, âOperating Segmentsâ is not applicable.
