SEBI lets InvITs borrow beyond 49% debt cap to fund capex and repairs

SEBI lets InvITs borrow beyond 49% debt cap to fund capex and repairs

SEBI has issued new guidelines for Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), allowing them to take on debt beyond the existing 49% cap relative to the value of their assets. The change opens a fresh funding route for InvITs to finance capital expenditure, upgrades, and repairs across infrastructure projects. While the move could improve liquidity for asset maintenance and growth plans, it also raises fresh questions about leverage levels, risk management, and how investors will weigh the new capital structure.

SEBI lets highly leveraged InvITs borrow for capex maintenance and refinancing under new rules

SEBI has widened the permitted use of fresh borrowings for Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) with net debt above 49% of asset value, effective immediately. The regulator now allows such funds for capital expenditure to improve performance or expand capacity, and also for major maintenance costs on road projects, defined as non routine expenses tied to concession obligations. SEBI further permits refinancing by the InvIT, SPV, or holding company, but only the principal can be refinanced—interest and fees cannot.

How company groups can mask debt and disputes while staying within accounting rules

Real cases show that “consolidated profit” may mislead—so investors must dig deeper than headline numbers and the reported bottom line.
