RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to the Warehouse SPV's Business and Industry

• RRVL is expected to contribute substantially towards all of the Warehouse SPV's revenues. Accordingly, the Warehouse SPV's results of operations and financial condition are linked to those of RRVL. As a result, any and all the factors that may adversely affect the business of RRVL would adversely and materially affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Warehouse SPV. Further, any delay in payments from RRVL would materially and adversely affect the Warehouse SPV's cash flows and distributions to our Unitholders.

• Our results may be adversely affected by future unforeseen events, such as the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19"), or a similar outbreak, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks or threats, future epidemics or pandemics or other catastrophic events.

• Termination of our leases or inability to renew and maintain our leasing agreements with the landlords would materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial position.

• Competition in the warehousing and supply chain industry may create pricing pressures that materially and adversely affect us.

Risks Related to our Organization and the Structure of the Trust

• The Trust is a recently settled trust with no established operating history and no historical financial information and, as a result, investors may not be able to assess its prospects on the basis of past records.

• The Valuation Report, is not an opinion on the commercial merits of the Trust or the Warehouse SPV, nor is it an opinion, expressed or implied, as to the future trading price of the Units or the financial condition of the Trust upon listing, and the valuation contained therein may not be indicative of the true value of the Warehouse SPV's assets.

Risks Related to the Trust's Relationships with the Trustee, Sponsor, the Investment Manager and Project Manager

• The Investment Manager is required to comply with certain ongoing reporting and management obligations in relation to the Trust. We cannot assure you that the Investment Manager will be able to comply with such requirements.

• We depend on the Investment Manager, the Project Manager and the Trustee to manage our business and assets, and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and our ability to make distributions may be harmed if the Investment Manager, Project Manager or the Trustee fail to perform satisfactorily. The rights of the Unitholders to recover claims against them are limited.

Risks Related to Ownership of the Units

• The price of the Units may decline after the Issue.

• The regulatory framework governing infrastructure investment trusts in India is relatively new and the interpretation and enforcement thereof involve uncertainties, which may have a material, adverse effect on the ability of certain categories of investors to invest in the Units, our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to the Unitholders.
