Bharat Highways InvIT IPO review
Giving a ‘subscribe’ tag to the public issue, BP Equities said, “As the lender will utilize net proceeds of the fresh equity issue to repay/prepay loans to the Project SPVs that will enhance the InvIT’s leverage position. At the current P/BV multiple of 0.8x based on book value as of September 2023, we believe the company is reasonably valued and advise investors to “Subscribe” to the issue from a medium to long-term perspective.”
Advising the primary market investors to apply for the book build issue, StoxBox report said, “On the financial performance front, the company earned a net profit of ₹101.4 crores on a total income of ₹388.5 crores in H1FY24 and the financial indebtedness of the trust as of February 01, 2024 stood at ₹3,568.2 crores. With the NHAI hybrid annuity projects providing a natural hedge against the risk of adverse interest rate movement in addition to the annuity payments due under the respective concession agreements during the operations period, NHAI is required to pay interest on the reducing balance of the completion cost (equivalent to 60% of the BPC) throughout the operation period at the rate of 3% above the RBI bank rate.”
