1. Para 22.3.1. (b) of Chapter 22, titled "Board nomination rights to unitholders of Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs)", of the Master Circular for Infrastructure Investment Trusts dated May 15, 2024 requires as under:

"(b) Eligible Unitholder(s) shall be entitled to nominate only one Unitholder Nominee Director, subject to the unitholding of such Eligible Unitholder(s) exceeding the specified threshold. If the right to nominate one or more directors on the Board of Directors of the Investment Manager is available to any entity (or to an associate of such entity) in the capacity of shareholder of the Investment Manager or lender to the Investment Manager or the InvIT (or its HoldCo(s) or SPVs), then such entity in its capacity as unitholder, shall not be entitled to nominate or participate in the nomination of a Unitholder Nominee Director."

2. Market participants have requested to provide clarity on the availability of the right to nominate a director on the Board of Directors of the Investment Manager of InvIT, to a unitholder where such nomination right is also available to a unitholder in the capacity of lender to the Investment Manager or the InvIT (or its HoldCo(s) or SPVs).

In order to promote ease of doing business and based on the request of the industry and recommendation of Hybrid Securities Advisory Committee (HySAC), it is proposed to insert the following proviso under paragraph 22.3.1. (b) of Master Circular for Infrastructure Investment Trusts dated May 15, 2024:

4. This circular shall come into force with immediate effect.
