Unitholders can expect cash inflows based on their holdings as of the record date. The distribution details clarify the source of funds, distinguishing between return on and return of capital.
The corporate name changes, including the trust now being known as Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust (formerly Data Infrastructure Trust) and its investment manager as Data Link Investment Manager Private Limited (formerly BIP India Infra Projects Management Services Private Limited), are important for record-keeping and corporate identity.
The backstory
This trust operates within the telecommunications infrastructure sector, managing assets that generate revenue streams. Distributions are a key mechanism for returning value to investors.
What changes now
Investors holding units by June 2, 2026, will be eligible for the declared distribution. They should update their records to reflect the new entity and investment manager names.
