  • IRB recently listed first InvIT of the country in May 2017 with 6 operational assets valued at Rs. 5920 Crore. IRB has received Rs. 1700 Crore as consideration from the InvIT and IRB continues to hold 15% of the Unit Capital of the InvIT.  Consequently, IRB’s Debt Equity Ratio has reduced substantially from 3:1 to approx. 1.8:1 which would lead credit rating upgrade for IRB.
