FY26 financial performance: PAT swings to ₹42.16 crore

Interise Trust reported that FY26 marked a decisive turnaround, with consolidated PAT moving to ₹42.16 crore from a loss of ₹71.38 crore in FY25. The Trust reported consolidated revenue of ₹3,651.74 crore for FY26, compared with ₹3,638.72 crore in FY25, indicating a modest year-on-year increase.

On operating profitability, consolidated EBITDA was reported at ₹2,588.56 crore for FY26, up from ₹2,478.38 crore in FY25. The Trust also reported an EBITDA margin of 70.89% (up 2.78 bps, as stated). The narrative in the disclosure attributed the improved outcome to cost optimisation and steady revenue from road assets, alongside improved EBITDA.

Distributions rise to ₹830 crore; ₹7.59 per unit for FY26

For FY26, Interise Trust reported total distributions of ₹830 crore, compared with ₹766 crore in FY25. The distribution per unit was reported at ₹7.59 for FY26, with an annual yield of 6.85%.

After the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors of the Investment Manager approved a fourth distribution of ₹1.25 per unit for FY26 at a meeting held on April 28, 2026. The disclosure stated this ₹1.25 per unit payout comprised ₹0.68 from interest income and ₹0.57 from dividend income. Unitholders on the record date of May 1, 2026, were stated to be eligible, with an ex-date of April 30, 2026.

Standalone numbers disclosed: revenue from operations and profit

Alongside consolidated performance, Interise Trust also disclosed standalone figures. On a standalone basis, it reported revenue from operations of ₹1,622.81 crore and profit for the year of ₹815.35 crore. Basic and diluted earnings per unit were reported at ₹7.82.

These figures were presented separately from consolidated numbers in the provided material, and readers should treat consolidated and standalone metrics as distinct reporting scopes.

Summary table: financials, distributions, and ownership

Market-impact datapoints reported in the material

The provided market snapshot listed returns of 0% over 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year, with longer-period returns of -4.57% over 3 years and -11.95% over 5 years. It also stated quarterly earnings growth year-on-year at -197.1, and separately described that net profit fell -197.1% year-on-year to ₹-53.20 crore in the quarter ending March 2026.

In addition, the dividend information section reiterated the ₹1.25 per unit cash distribution declared on April 28, 2026, with an indicated dividend yield of 7.26% as of May 1, 2026.

Why the combination of disclosures matters

For InvIT investors, Interise Trust’s FY26 disclosure highlights two linked issues: the sustainability of distributions and the durability of operating profitability. A shift from losses to profit at the PAT line can improve confidence in cash buffer and capital allocation flexibility, but investors also track quarter-to-quarter volatility, especially when updates show a loss in the March quarter.

The Q1FY26 holding pattern adds context around governance and alignment. Sponsor ownership of 60.83% indicates continued sponsor exposure, while public ownership being dominated by FPIs, as disclosed, can influence trading behaviour and sensitivity to global risk appetite.

Conclusion

Interise Trust’s disclosures show a FY26 turnaround to a consolidated PAT of ₹42.16 crore, EBITDA of ₹2,588.56 crore on revenue of ₹3,651.74 crore, and higher FY26 distributions of ₹830 crore. The Q1FY26 filing also reports sponsor and associates holding at 60.83%, with public holding at 39.17% and FPIs the largest public segment at 34.77%. The next key datapoints for investors will be subsequent quarterly profitability trends and any further distribution announcements beyond the ₹1.25 per unit payout approved on April 28, 2026.
