Citius Transnet Investment Trust IPO

About the company

Citius Transnet is an investment trust that caters to the transport sector, created for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and investing in a portfolio of transport infrastructure assets, mainly roads in India. The sponsor of the Trust is Epic TransNet Infrastructure Private Limited (earlier known as Watrak Infrastructure Private Limited). The sponsor company is wholly owned by the schemes of the Infrastructure Yield Trust managed by EAAA India Alternatives Limited ("EAAA"). EAAA is one of the top three infrastructure investment managers in India on the basis of AUM as of March 31, 2025. The company manages three out of 16 infrastructure-focused funds. The investment manager of the trust is EAAA TransInfra Managers, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of EAAA. The project manager of the trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of the sponsor. After the completion of the formation transactions, the portfolio of Citius InvIT would consist of a total of 10 road assets, which include seven toll assets and three annuity assets. All these assets would be held by means of project-specific companies or special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and two holding companies. The total length of these roads is 3,406.71 lane kms spread across nine Indian states. Four out of the seven toll roads have a tolling experience of more than 12 years. The toll road and annuity road portfolio of the Trust enjoys strategic positioning in economically vibrant areas of India and is likely to generate substantial and consistent traffic growth in the coming years. The portfolio is geographically diversified in states like Haryana (NH-1), Gujarat (NH-8A, SH-17, SH-25), Karnataka-Telangana (NH-9), Kerala (NH-544), Orissa (SH-10), Assam (NH-48), Meghalaya-Assam (NH-40), and Arunachal Pradesh (NH-13). The portfolio is well-diversified in national highways and state highways, creating connectivity in industrial belts and balancing the traffic potential in the portfolio. Toll SPV projects had an annual weighted average passenger car unit (PCU) growth of 7.10% per day between 2023 and 2025, while the growth rate stood at 6.46% between 2018 and 2025 (without PECPL and TEL). Regarding the traffic composition for FY26, the passenger vehicles take up roughly 37.80% of the PCU mix, whereas the commercial or freight vehicles make up 62.20%. The freight vehicles generate about 74% of the total revenue from tolls. The Indian road infrastructure segment continues to be one of the major backbones for growth, contributing heavily to transport-related activities across the nation, and is expected to witness substantial investment inflows in future years. The sector currently contributes more than 60% of freight and almost 85% of passenger transport through the second-largest road network in the world and is expected to receive investments of around ₹33 to 35 trillion between 2025 and 2030, backed by government-led mega projects like Bharatmala, NIP, and NMP. Over the last few years, the industry has seen a transition from traditional PPP structures to mature PPP models like HAM, BOT, TOT and InvITs, which provide better risk management and sustainable cash flow, thus driving participation from institutional and global investors. Attracting further investor interest through asset monetisation vehicles like TOT and InvITs also appears highly possible in the future. Going forward, with continued government support and focus on logistics and integration with multimodal infrastructure, a sustained period of growth can be anticipated with solid cash flow visibility. In line with the growth prospects within India’s road infrastructure sector, the company’s strategy is geared towards maximising and enhancing a diversified, yield-accretive portfolio via strategic acquisitions, efficient capital deployment, and proactive asset management. It seeks to tap into the emerging opportunities presented by government programs, such as asset monetisation (InvITs, TOT, HAM), together with greater participation from the private sector, by acquiring operational or near-operational assets providing reliable cash flows and visibility over concession periods. Furthermore, the company also plans to maximise value by way of technology-enabled O&M processes, cost reduction, and lifecycle management of assets, while exercising fiscal discipline and diversifying its financing avenues. Its strategy also entails venturing into complementary transport-related infrastructure businesses, including logistics, rail, and cable car services, making use of synergistic relationships between sectors, together with India’s increasing emphasis on multimodal infrastructure networks. Now, Citius Transnet Investment Trust is launching its InvIT, which consists of a fresh issue of ₹1,105 crore only. Its shares will be listed on the NSE and BSE. ### **How to pre-apply for Citius Transnet Investment Trust InvIT?** You can pre-apply for Citius Transnet Investment Trust InvIT on Upstox.
