Subject: SEBI Circular — Framework for Calculation of Net Distributable Cash Flows (NDCF) for InvITs — Effective Immediately (August 14, 2026)

SEBI, vide circular dated August 14, 2026, has amended the framework for calculating Net Distributable Cash Flows (NDCF) for Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) under Section F (Para 3.19) of the InvIT Master Circular.

The change impacts road-sector InvITs and treatment of major maintenance (MM) funded through external borrowing. The circular is effective immediately — no transition period.

Key changes:
i. New add-back: Payments towards major maintenance expenses for road projects, to the extent funded by external borrowing, can now be added back in HoldCo/SPV-level and Trust-level NDCF calculations.

ii. New Note 12: Defines “Road Project” as per the Ministry of Finance notification dated September 19, 2025, and specifies conditions for the add-back.

iii. Unitholder approval: A resolution under Regulation 22(5) of the InvIT Regulations, with at least 60% of votes cast in favour, is mandatory before adding back debt-funded MM expenses.

iv. Auditor certification & disclosure: A statutory auditor certificate confirming MM expenses comply with concession agreement obligations is required. Disclosure must state that MM debt reduces future leverage headroom, as it forms part of aggregate borrowings but cannot be capitalised.

Why it matters:
The amendment provides road-sector InvITs more flexibility in structuring distributions for debt-funded major maintenance. However, this is subject to unitholder approval, auditor certification and enhanced disclosure requirements.

Timeline:
Effective immediately — August 14, 2026.

SEBI, on 13 August 2026, issued a consultation paper proposing mandatory adoption of a colour-coded “Credit Risk-o-Meter” for debt securities. The proposal covers issuers of non-convertible securities, commercial papers, securitised debt instruments, security receipts, structured/market-linked debentures and Online Bond Platform Providers (OBPPs). Comments are invited by 3 September 2026.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬
• 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫-𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫: Six risk categories, from Irish Green (lowest risk) to Red (very high default risk), mapped to AAA–D ratings and shown alongside the alphanumeric rating.

• 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞: The meter must appear in offer documents, prospectuses, private placement memorandums, advertisements and issuer/OBPP platforms.

• 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Where multiple CRA ratings exist, the meter reflects the lowest rating, while all ratings remain disclosed.

• 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: “Unsecured” must be displayed in bold red text.

• 𝐎𝐁𝐏𝐏 𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: OBPPs must use SEBI-registered CRAs, update the meter after rating changes and maintain audit trails.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
The proposed Credit Risk-o-Meter aims to make credit risk easier for investors to understand through visual communication. If finalised, issuers, merchant bankers, debenture trustees and OBPPs may need to update disclosures, marketing material and platform workflows.

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞
• Consultation paper issued: 13 August 2026
• Comments deadline: 3 September 2026

We can assist with reviewing the proposal, assessing its impact and preparing/submitting comments or representations to SEBI.

SEBI Consultation Paper: Review of the Accredited Investor Framework

Synopsis:
SEBI has proposed a comprehensive review of the Accredited Investor (AI) framework, introduced in 2021 to identify investors with the financial capacity and sophistication to undertake higher investment risks. The framework currently provides regulatory flexibilities across AIFs, PMS, SIFs, Angel Funds, CIVs and LVFs.

Current Framework:
Accreditation is presently granted through SEBI-recognised Accreditation Agencies based on income/net-worth criteria. Stakeholders have highlighted the process as duplicative, costly and time-consuming. As of July 31, 2026, only 3,820 investors were accredited.

Key Proposals:
• Optional Manager-led accreditation, alongside the existing agency route, valid for 3 years at group-entity level.
• New eligibility based solely on securities market assets: ₹5 crore for individuals and ₹20 crore for body corporates.
• Potential expansion of the eligible AI pool to approximately 3.7 lakh investors, compared with around 96,000 current AIF investors.
• Deemed Accredited Investor status for all Persons Resident Outside India (PROI), including FPIs, under FEMA, 1999.
• Safeguards covering accountability, record-keeping and a defined accreditation policy.
• Consultative proposals on LLP look-through and recognition of wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Practical Takeaway:
AIF/PMS/SIF Managers, Accreditation Agencies and prospective/existing Accredited Investors should review the 10 proposals and draft regulatory amendments and submit their comments through SEBI’s online public-comment portal.

Applicability Date:
Comments are invited on or before September 03, 2026.

SEBI’s Department of Debt and Hybrid Securities issued a consultation paper on August 10, 2026, proposing higher ISIN limits for privately placed debt securities and changes to the listing requirement for legacy unlisted NCDs. Comments are invited until August 31, 2026.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬:
• Higher ISIN ceiling: 17 ISINs annually, up from 14 — including 12 for plain-vanilla debt and 5 for structured/market-linked debt, FRBs, ZCBs and Tier II bonds.
• Tiered unlocking: Large issuers can unlock 1 additional ISIN for every ₹3,000 crore raised beyond ₹15,000 crore across the 12 plain-vanilla ISINs.
• Carve-outs: GoI-serviced/EBR bonds and ESG debt securities will be excluded from the ISIN limit.
• Relief from retrospective listing: First-time NCD listing will no longer require listing of pre-existing unlisted NCDs issued after January 1, 2024. Issuances made before the first listing date will be grandfathered.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
The proposed changes could provide NBFCs and frequent issuers greater flexibility in managing refinancing and ALM requirements, while reducing the cost and operational burden for unlisted companies entering the debt market.

The proposals stem from supervisory experience showing inconsistent voting practices among AIFs and a narrow definition of 'associate' that leaves several inherently conflicted transactions outside the investor consent requirement.

▪️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭
AIFs would be allowed to choose one of three methodologies:
• 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭
• 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
• 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥

The chosen methodology would be applied consistently at the scheme level, with details disclosed in the PPM. Approval thresholds are proposed to be revised to 75% of investors by value across the AIF Regulations and circulars.

▪️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
The narrow 'associate' definition (15% holding threshold) is proposed to be replaced with the broader 'related party' definition under the Companies Act, 2013, for conflicted transaction provisions. Transactions with related parties of the trustee/Board/designated partners are proposed to be excluded, while 'associate' is retained for non-conflict provisions.

▪️ 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
Existing voting methodologies and thresholds would be grandfathered, with the new framework applying prospectively.
SEBI has invited public comments on Proposals 1–8 of the consultation paper until July 21, 2026, through the online form on the SEBI website.
