NHAI Raises Rs 9,500 Cr Through Monetisation of Five Highway Assets Across Four States
The monetised stretches include the 80.52 km Gorhar–Barwa Adda section in Jharkhand, the 69.4 km Chilakaluripet–Vijayawada section in Andhra Pradesh, the 32.6 km Chennai Bypass, the 33 km Chennai–Tada section in Tamil Nadu and the 44.6 km Neelmangla–Tumkur section in Karnataka. The transaction is expected to strengthen private sector participation in highway operations while supporting NHAI’s future project pipeline.
Commenting on the occasion, Shri Santosh Kumar Yadav, Chairman, NHAI, said, “Through this Public InvIT, retail investors will not only gain the opportunity to earn stable and attractive returns from operational National Highway assets but will also develop a sense of ownership and pride in contributing to the growth of national infrastructure.”
The monetisation through Public InvIT is aligned with the Government of India’s National Monetisation Pipeline objectives aimed at unlocking value from operational infrastructure assets and enhancing private sector participation in infrastructure management. Over the next 3 to 5 years, NHAI plans to provide further assets of about 1,500 km to RIIT.
NHAI-sponsored Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (RIIT) aims to unlock the monetization potential of the National Highway assets while creating a high-quality, long-term investment instrument primarily targeting retail and domestic investors. The initiative marks an important step in broadening public participation in the National Highway infrastructure growth story. The development marks a significant milestone in NHAI’s asset monetisation programme and demonstrates continued investor confidence in India’s mature road infrastructure portfolio.
