New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI) Nexus Select Trust, a listed REIT backed by retail real estate, on Tuesday reported 7 per cent increase in net operating income to Rs 412.7 crore for June quarter and announced plans to raise up to Rs 1,700 crore through issue of commercial papers and debentures.

In a regulatory filing, the company said it achieved retail Net Operating Income (NOI) of Rs 371.9 crore in April-June period of this fiscal, up 8 per cent from the year-ago period.

Nexus Select Trust declared distribution of Rs 325.3 crore or Rs 2.147 per unit for the first quarter of 2024-25.

"Signed two term sheets for acquisition of 0.8 million square feet retail assets; commenced due diligence. Overall, 5 assets under acquisition including the acquisitions announced in the past," the company said.

Dalip Sehgal, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer at Nexus Select Trust, said, “We witnessed robust retail net operating income growth of 8 per cent YoY in market conditions where macro consumption growth was soft due to one off reasons like uneven weather patterns and general elections."
