To unlock value of operational National Highway assets and increase Public Private Partnership in India’s infrastructure development, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), 

today released its first ever ‘Asset Monetization Strategy for the Road Sector’. The strategy presents a structured framework that provide a robust blueprint to mobilise capital through Toll-Operate-Transfer (ToT),

Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), and securitisation models. These instruments have helped NHAI raise over ₹1.4 lakh crore across more than 6,100 km of National Highways under National Monetisation Pipeline.

The strategy is anchored on three core pillars that include Value Maximisation of Government Road Assets, Transparency of Processes and Dissemination of investor-relevant information, and market development through deepening the investor base as well as promoting stakeholder engagement.

Commenting on the release of the strategy document, NHAI Chairman Shri Santosh Kumar Yadav said “The unique approach that NHAI has adopted towards asset monetisation not only ensures financial sustainability but also

opens opportunities for the private sector, leverage advanced technologies, enhance quality and longevity of our road assets.

The successful implementation of this strategy will provide NHAI with a steady stream of financing, reducing our reliance on traditional funding sources”.
