CEO Ramesh Nair has announced that the company expects to achieve an occupancy rate of nearly 93% by the end of 2024-25 (FY25), a notable improvement from the current 91.5%.
Ramesh Nair, the CEO of Mindspace REIT, is confident in the company's growth trajectory.
He stated, 'We are quite confident that we will start seeing distribution growth happening.
We are also looking at a right of first offer (ROFO) asset, and we are considering a third-party acquisition.
Any acquisition we make will be a strategic milestone for us in our growth journey.'
The company is committed to expanding its presence in key markets and plans to invest in high-quality, premium assets.
The ROFO and third-party acquisition strategies are seen as crucial steps to achieve these goals.
The second data center in Airoli was delivered ahead of schedule, and Nair highlighted the growing demand for data center capacity in the country.
'The country is seeing an annual addition of around 250 megawatts of capacity, and we are well-positioned to capture this demand,' he explained.
Mindspace REIT currently has five data centers in its portfolio, with two already operational.
The company is set to offer a total capacity of 285 megawatts, spanning 1.7 million square feet.
This expansion is particularly beneficial due to long-term leases, which help diversify the tenant base and reduce associated risks.
The longer lock-in periods typical of these data centers also add significant value.
In the October-December 2024 quarter (Q3FY25), the company reported robust financial performance with revenue from operations of ₹642 crore, net operating income of ₹522 crore, and a distribution of ₹315 crore.
With a market capitalization of ₹22,416 crore, Mindspace REIT has seen its shares rise by 16% over the last year.
Mindspace REIT remains focused on strategic growth, with a clear vision to enhance its market presence and deliver sustained value to its stakeholders.
