CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) has announced a 22% year-on-year increase in its distribution per unit (DPU) for the second half of 2025, reaching 3.90 Singapore cents. This growth is attributed to successful developments, improved operating performance, and strategic portfolio reconstitution. Unitholders are set to receive their 2H 2025 DPU on 19 March 2026.
The Trust’s income available for distribution surged by 33% year-on-year to INR 3,990m during the period from 1 July to 31 December 2025. This was driven by contributions from newly completed developments and higher interest income from six forward purchases under development. Total property income for 2H 2025 grew by 10% to INR 9.8b, whilst net property income increased by 17% to INR 7.6b.
Chairman Manohar Khiatani highlighted the strategic focus and execution capabilities that led to these robust results. “The team’s disciplined efforts to strengthen operating margins, optimise capital management, and unlock value through strategic divestments have been instrumental,” he stated.
CEO Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam noted the momentum generated across multiple growth engines, emphasising the importance of strengthening the portfolio and balance sheet through forward purchases and capital recycling.
CLINT’s proactive capital management included diversifying funding sources and issuing its first bond in India, rated AAA by Crisil Ratings Limited. The Trust also signed two onshore sustainability-linked loans totalling INR 21b, enhancing long-term cost savings.
Looking ahead, CLINT is focused on sustaining growth through strategic developments and portfolio reconstitution, including the redevelopment of the Orion building in Hyderabad and ongoing projects in Bangalore. With a committed portfolio occupancy of 91% and strong rental reversions, CLINT is well-positioned for future opportunities.
