The handover of these Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) took place on 21st and 22nd May 2025.

The original equity invested in these assets was Rs 13.71 billion.

Sale of the remaining two assets is expected in the first half of FY26, subject to conditions precedent. The transaction aligns with PNC’s strategy to recycle capital and invest in new infrastructure opportunities.
