Core Purpose

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has published the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2025, to further amend the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014.

Detailed Summary

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2025, on September 1, 2025, in Mumbai, under the powers conferred by Sections 11, 12, and 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (15 of 1992). These regulations, identified as F. No. SEBI/LAD-NRO/GN/2025/259, amend the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014, and come into force upon their publication in the Official Gazette on September 2, 2025. Key amendments include the substitution of clause (zq) in regulation 2(1) to redefine "public," excluding related parties, sponsors, investment managers, or project managers of an InvIT, but including qualified institutional buyers who are also specified persons. Regulation 10(18)(a) and 10(24) are amended to change the submission timeline for status of under-construction projects and quarterly reviews by the trustee from "thirty days of end of such quarter" to "such time as may be specified by the Board for submission of quarterly financial results." A new proviso in regulation 10(18) mandates simultaneous submission of certain valuation reports to the trustee and stock exchange(s). Regulation 14(2)(c) reduces the minimum investment for privately placed InvITs from "rupees one crore" to "rupees twenty five lakhs" and omits the provision for a higher minimum investment of "rupees twenty five crore" for InvITs primarily investing in completed assets. Regulation 18(6)(ba) includes a new proviso allowing a holdco with negative net distributable cash flow to adjust it against cash flows from underlying SPVs with appropriate disclosures. Regulation 21 introduces several changes: the proviso after sub-regulation (4) is substituted to require full valuation as at the end of the financial year ending March 31st, submitted with annual financial results; sub-regulation (5) is modified for half-yearly valuations to be as at the end of September and submitted with quarterly financial results for the quarter ending September 30th; and a new sub-regulation (5A) requires quarterly valuation for quarters ending June, September, and December if consolidated borrowings and deferred payments exceed forty-nine percent, to be submitted with corresponding quarterly financial results, with an exception for the September 30th report if a half-yearly valuation is submitted. Regulation 23(4) now specifies that the investment manager of a publicly offered InvIT shall submit a half-yearly report along with quarterly financial results for the quarter ending September 30th, replacing the previous 45-day deadline. A new sub-regulation (4A) in regulation 23 mandates a quarterly report from the investment manager along with quarterly financial statements for quarters ending June, September, and December if consolidated borrowings and deferred payments exceed forty-nine percent. The notification was signed by Babitha Rayudu, Executive Director.
