Mindspace Business Parks REIT Approves ₹15,700 Crore Debt Fundraising Plan via NCDs and Commercial Papers
Board Approval for Large-Scale Debt Program
Mindspace Business Parks REIT officially notified stock exchanges about an Executive Committee meeting scheduled for April 29, 2026, to consider fundraising through various debt instruments including non-convertible debt securities and commercial papers. The plan targets raising up to ₹15,700 crore (net of repayments and including existing debt) through non-convertible debt securities, commercial papers, or other permitted instruments. K Raheja Corp Investment Managers Private Limited, acting as manager to Mindspace Business Parks REIT, convened the Executive Committee to formalize this approval on the same day the REIT filed its annual results.
Approval Safeguards and Market Context
The allotment follows an earlier approval dated April 29, 2026, subject to the condition that aggregate consolidated borrowings do not exceed 33% of total assets. The fund-raising was approved such that net debt does not exceed INR 1,57,000 Million. This conservative leverage constraint reflects the REIT's disciplined capital structure approach, even as it pursues a substantial funding program.
Strong Q4 FY26 Performance Underpins Plan
The debt approval was announced alongside solid operational results. Q4 FY26 showed revenue from operations of Rs. 9,148.94 million, profit for the period of Rs. 2,087.31 million, and profit attributable to unit holders of Rs. 1,985.56 million. For the full year FY26, net profit after tax reached ₹6,942.58 million, up 35% from ₹5,137.46 million in FY25, while total income rose 23% to ₹32,930.87 million.
Portfolio Scale and Occupancy Strength
The REIT's entire portfolio spans four key office markets with a total leasable area of 39.10 million sq ft. The portfolio valuation reflects strong market fundamentals with Gross Asset Value of Rs. 476 billion as of March 31, 2026, and Net Asset Value of Rs. 527 per unit, up 9% from September 2025. Portfolio committed occupancy stood at 95.7%, up 1.2% quarter-on-quarter.
