Review of performance
1H FY 2023 vs 1H FY 2022
Total property income increased by ₹1.0 billion (18%) to ₹6.8 billion mainly due to:
- higher portfolio occupancy;
- income from Arshiya Warehouse 7 which was acquired in March 2022;
- income from Industrial Facility in Mahindra World City (“MWC”) which was acquired in May 2022;
- income from Block A, ITPH which was completed in January 2023; and
- income from ITPP-H which was acquired in May 2023.
In SGD terms, total property income increased by 7% to S$110.5 million. SGD appreciated by about 10% against the INR over the same period last year.
Total property expenses increased by 38% to ₹1.5 billion (S$24.9 million) mainly due to higher operational and maintenance expenses, property management fees and property taxes from existing and newly acquired properties.
As a result, net property income increased by 13% to ₹5.3 billion (S$85.6 million).
Trustee-manager's fees increased by ₹38 million (7%) to ₹550 million (S$8.9 million), which is in-line with higher net property income and portfolio value as of 30 June 2023.
Other operating expenses increased by ₹70 million (68%) to ₹174 million (S$2.8 million) mainly due to higher other trust and CSR expenses in 1H FY 2023.
Finance costs increased by ₹810 million (49%) to ₹2.4 billion (S$39.8 million) mainly due to increase in borrowings and interest rates.
Interest income increased by ₹403 million (28%) to ₹1.8 billion (S$30 million) mainly due to higher interest income from fixed deposits and investments in BlueRidge 3, GardenCity, Casa Grande Phase 2 and aVance SEZ 2.
Net exchange differences and fair value on derivative financial instruments - realised of ₹1.0 billion (S$16.8 million) arose mainly from settlement of SGD-denominated loans. Realised exchange gain or loss is recognised when borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the INR are settled together with the settlement of JPY Medium term notes, 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.
As a result, ordinary profit before tax was ₹2.9 billion in 1H FY 2023, a decrease of 13% as compared to ₹3.3 billion in 1H FY 2022. In SGD terms, ordinary profit before tax decreased by 21% to S$47.2 million.
Income tax expenses increased by ₹248 million (16%) to ₹1.4 billion (S$23.1 million) in line with higher NPI.
Distribution adjustments:
- Income tax expenses of ₹1.0 billion (S$16.9 million).
- Trustee-Manager’s fees of ₹268 million (S$4.4 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 are added back to the income available for distribution.
- Realised loss on settlement of loans of ₹1.0 billion (S$17.0 million) was added back for distribution purpose. This pertains to refinancing of SGD-denominated loans that have not been hedged into INR. Exchange gain/loss is recognised when borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the INR are revalued. The exchange gain/loss is realised when the borrowing matures, is prepaid, or swapped to INR denomination.
- Income due to non-controlling interests of ₹206 million (S$3.4 million) is deducted from income available for distribution.
Income available for distribution decreased by 2% to ₹3.0 billion, mainly due to higher net finance costs, higher current income tax expense, partially offset by higher NPI and higher net realised DFI and exchange gain. In SGD terms, income available for distribution decreased by 11% to S$48.9 million.
Income available for distribution per unit was ₹2.29 or 3.73 S₵. DPU was ₹2.07 or 3.36 S₵ after retaining 10% of income available for distribution, representing an decrease of 13% and 22% in INR and SGD terms respectively.

1H FY 2023 vs 2H FY 2022
Total property income for 1H FY 2023 increased by 11% to ₹6.8 billion (S$110.5 million) mainly due to the additional income contribution from Block A, ITPH and ITPP-H which were completed or acquired in January 2023 and May 2023 respectively; together with the higher occupancy in 1H FY 2023.
