Oriental InfraTrust declared a Rs 3.4596-per-unit distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, totalling Rs 201.72 crore. The Trust set November 17, 2026 as the record date, and the payout comprises Rs 1.8659 of interest, Rs 1.2797 of dividend and Rs 0.3140 of return of capital per unit.

What distribution did the Trust declare for September 2026?

The Trust declared a total distribution of Rs 201.72 crore, or Rs 3.4596 per unit, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. OIT Infrastructure Management Limited, acting as investment manager, approved the declaration at its board meeting on November 12, 2026 alongside the Trust's unaudited financial results.

Interest accounts for Rs 1.8659 of the per-unit payout, followed by a Rs 1.2797 dividend and Rs 0.3140 return of capital. The interest component is Rs 0.5862 per unit higher than the dividend component, while the filing separately identifies the capital return rather than including it in either interest or dividend.

When must investors hold the Trust's units to receive the payout?

The Trust fixed November 17, 2026 as the record date, making the distribution payable to unitholders existing on that date. The November 12, 2026 announcement repeats that eligibility is determined by holdings on November 17 rather than by ownership on the board-meeting date.

The filing does not specify a payment date for the Rs 201.72 crore distribution. It identifies the listed units by the symbol OSEINTRUST and International Securities Identification Number, or ISIN, INE07Z523018, while the record-date notice describes November 17, 2026 as a Tuesday.

The audit committee met from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time on November 12, 2026, and the board met from 3:00 p.m. to 5:05 p.m. The announcement also says the trading window would open 48 hours after public announcement of audited results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, as previously intimated.

How did the Trust's September-quarter standalone results change?

The Trust reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs 295.634 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs 280.396 crore in the June 2026 quarter and Rs 238.030 crore in the September 2025 quarter. Revenue therefore increased in both the sequential and year-on-year comparisons disclosed in the financial statement.

Total income rose to Rs 298.846 crore from Rs 284.382 crore in June 2026 and Rs 262.823 crore a year earlier. Other income, however, was Rs 3.212 crore, below Rs 3.986 crore in the preceding quarter and Rs 24.793 crore in September 2025, so the increase in total income coincided with higher revenue from operations.

Standalone profit after tax was Rs 192.148 crore, against Rs 182.290 crore in the June 2026 quarter and Rs 165.953 crore in the September 2025 quarter. Basic and diluted earnings per unit, not annualised, were Rs 3.30, compared with Rs 3.13 sequentially and Rs 2.85 in the corresponding prior-year quarter.

What do the Trust's half-year results show?

The Trust reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs 576.030 crore for the half year ended September 30, 2026, versus Rs 525.165 crore for the half year ended September 30, 2025. Total income was Rs 583.228 crore, compared with Rs 554.416 crore in the prior-year half.

Profit after tax for the six-month period was Rs 374.438 crore, up from Rs 348.361 crore a year earlier, while total expenses rose to Rs 208.790 crore from Rs 206.055 crore. Investment-manager fees were Rs 10.674 crore, compared with Rs 9.929 crore in the corresponding six months of 2025.

Impairment of investments was Rs 8.424 crore in the half year ended September 30, 2026, against Rs 11.120 crore a year earlier. The full year ended March 31, 2026 included Rs 169.180 crore of impairment, but the filing does not explain the change between the annual figure and the subsequent half-year amount.

What does the filing disclose about review, valuation and cash flows?

The supplied announcement does not provide trust-level or project-level cash-flow figures for the Rs 201.72 crore distribution. It says the board approved and took note of unaudited consolidated results of the Trust and standalone results of project entities for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, while the supplied financial table is headed as standalone results.

Walker Chandiok & Co LLP issued its limited-review report on November 12, 2026 under Standard on Review Engagements 2410. The auditor said nothing had come to its attention to indicate that the standalone statement did not make required disclosures or contained a material misstatement, while noting that a review is less extensive than an audit.

The announcement says RBSA Valuation Advisors LLP's valuation report for the Trust and project entities, including net asset value as of September 30, 2026, was enclosed. It also says a security-cover certificate for listed non-convertible debentures was enclosed, but the supplied pages do not state the valuation, net asset value or security-cover amounts.

Conclusion

The Trust's November 12, 2026 declaration establishes a Rs 3.4596-per-unit September-quarter payout, led by Rs 1.8659 of interest per unit and supplemented by dividend and return-of-capital components. The declared Rs 201.72 crore amount followed a quarter in which standalone revenue and profit after tax exceeded both the June 2026 and September 2025 figures.

The next disclosed event is the November 17, 2026 record date, which determines entitlement to the distribution. Investors will also have to await any separately disclosed payment date, while the supplied announcement leaves the valuation, net asset value, security-cover and cash-flow figures outside the pages provided.
