Not sure if still it could be seen as pattern. Haven’t seen latest investor ppt of India Grid as well. AGM held few days back. So possible.
But mgmt must be aware of potential Qs around acquisitions. If the trend continues next Qtr, then will take fresh view. Being Govt backed, complacency expected but difficult to comprehend as PSUs have been very aggressive from past 2-3 years. Need to keep track

PGINVIT impairment of investments in subsidiaries and book value (03-08-2024)
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. – a federation! (03-08-2024)
Anyone tracking M&M? Very strong traction with 1) robust sales performance especially XUV700 where sales jumped 40% in July following price cut, 2) good operational performance in Q1, 3) Thar much anticipated 5-door launch, 4) Tractor performance will get a boost due to budget allocation.
While the stock has rallied along with other Auto companies, I expect outperformance in near-term, primarily driven by upbeat SUV performance.

Looks like this quarter PGINVIT is not planning on keeping a conf call. I don’t think they will have one unless they get an acquisition. Any thoughts on this?
Ideal duration of STP in these times for a large lumpsum amount? (03-08-2024)
thank you for your comments. May be I should have elaborated more on my proposed mutual fund portfolio.
Idea will be to have a 80% core and 20% satellite portfolio where 80% of the portfolio will have run of the mill index funds and the balance could be active / focussed / factor based funds.
Given the current valuations, large cap would be atleast 60-65% of the current portfolio with balance divided equally in mid and small cap. The endeavour will be to have a 50:25:25 portfolio in the long term which can be achieved by doing SIPs only in mid and small caps or rebalancing the portfolio after 3-4 years.

PGINVIT definitely till the time they are able to give 12/- yearly payout, is a value buy for an alternative stable income. The day rates start decreasing from RBI, the pre-tax yield will be even more lucrative.
Yes, other valuable boarders have mentioned, the delay in new acquisition is a challenge to keep on servicing 12/- payout, but this should happen sooner or later, is what the situation seem to hinge upon.
The promoter Power Grid is currently not willing to transfer any assets and currently getting money for more work is not a challenge. But this will happen as GoI will be there to take some call, even GAIL has denied to launch pipeline InvIT which GoI was willing to come up and this also seems to be in cold box.
However would like draw the attention that Powergrid lines are not only pure play of power transmissions but also for telecommunications. OPGW can be a dark horse for all transmission lines asset valuation increase and it can increase the valuation substantially. Power Grid and INVIT both have this and this should give some trigger in near future as currently management has also not spoken much about in public for OPGW ability. The high voltage lines surely have it as it helps in decreasing power losses, signals travel more distances without repeaters requirement and they act as sensors to detect any fault in lines, in fact can act as shield for lightning strikes. Companies, Govt etc use OPGW for their own purposes for last mile connectivity and speed enhancements and companies like power grid can sell there spare capacity to these institutions, generating some value out of it.
This is no way a cover up for the delay in assets acquisition but more of a structural theory that their payout could sustain 12/- till FY25-26, however, post that serious acquisition only can help for regular payouts. INDIGRID INVIT is better placed currently in terms of types of assets and the size of assets, so buying a mix of both of these would be better for visibility of stable pay-out, not for capital appreciation though.

The Anti-Portfolio (03-08-2024)
Yes Mr Vikas, though I’m also trying to get more insights on how the CPaaS can scale up the growth rate owing to privacy concerns related to messaging service. However, the opportunity for tickets booking etc thru these services and reminders like Refilling grocery, insurance premiums etc are also gaining traction. Need to see with Proximus in driving seat, how this shapes out. It also seems Mr Gupta was running out of ideas to give a scale-up to Route.
Thanks
Route Mobile – Internet, Mobile & Telecom (03-08-2024)
last week, saw some off-loading by promoters and Abakkus is completely out in June qtr. So both DIIs & Promoter free float shares are in market.
Seems for now, limited upside and there’s no traction in the company. CPaaS as a space is here to grow, esp with WhatsApp business & Google’s RCS getting into more thick of things while businesses are looking to find new engaging ways to keep a connect with their customers and also be instantly available, without a human need. Recently, Route also got Metro ticket booking contract and has been expanding the services tie-ups. Airtel already shared the intent to get into CPaaS and that’s off course has very great synergy to them.
But for now, the upside seems limited seeing Route’s valuations, more free float & offloading from promoters to happen (i expect they will complete by Mar’25 or least come to 77-78%). Tanla is there on lower deck of valuations but with Proximus buy-out, the leverage exists more with Route.
Coming months to see how this pans out and if looking to buy into a CPaaS growth story, Route can be considered as it should give good window for slow accumulation, fair valuations wrt growth runway and a strong promoter group with global reach & associations with big firms.
