- income from ITPP-H which was acquired in May 2023;
- income from Industrial Facility 2 & 3 which were acquired in December 2023;
- income from aVance II, Pune which was acquired in March 2024; and

In SGD terms, total property income increased by 19% to S$277.9 million. SGD appreciated by 2% against INR compared to same period last year.
Total property expenses increased by 35% to INR4.5 billion (S$72.3 million) mainly due to higher operating expenses from existing and newly acquired properties.
As a result, net property income increased by 16% to INR12.9 billion (S$205.6 million).
Trustee-manager's fees increased by INR319.0 million (27%) to INR1.5 billion (S$24.1 million) in-line with higher net property income and portfolio value as of 31 December 2024.
Other operating expenses increased by INR47.9 million (13%) to INR412.3 million (S$6.6 million) mainly due to higher trust expenses in FY 2024.
Finance costs increased by INR623.4 million (12%) to INR5.6 billion (S$90.3 million) mainly due to an increase in borrowings.
Interest income increased by INR50.8 million (1%) to INR3.5 billion (S$55.2 million) mainly due to an increase in interest income from long-term receivables and fixed deposits.
Net exchange differences and fair value on derivative financial instruments-realised of INR1.0 billion (S$16.1 million) arose mainly from settlement of SGD denominated loans. Realised exchange is recognised when borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the INR are settled, partially offset by foreign exchange forward contracts entered by the Group to hedge the foreign exchange exposure arising from the income repatriation from India to Singapore.

Income tax benefit/expenses decreased by INR5.4 billion to an income tax benefit of INR41.6 million (S$1.0 million) mainly due to the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax liabilities arising from a reduction in capital gain tax rate offset by higher income tax expenses from increased operating profits.
Distribution adjustments:
- Current income tax expenses of INR3.1 billion (S$49.1 million).
- Trustee-Manager's fees of INR735.9 million (S$11.7 million) to be paid in units. The Trustee-manager has elected to receive 50% of its base fee and performance fee in units and 50% in cash; hence 50% of the fees were added back to the income available for distribution.
- Exchange differences arising from refinancing of loans of INR1.2 billion (S$19.4 million) were added back for distribution purpose. This pertained to refinancing of SGD-denominated loans that have not been hedged into INR.

The exchange differences are realised when the borrowing matures, are prepaid, or swapped to INR denomination.
- Income due to non-controlling interests of INR468.0 million (S$7.5 million) was deducted from income available for distribution.
Income available for distribution increased by 9% to INR6.3 billion, mainly due to higher NPI partially offset by higher current income tax and net finance costs. In SGD terms, income available for distribution increased by 7% to S$101.5 million.
