NHAI Targets Rs.50,000 Crore Monetisation

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has established a dedicated Asset Monetisation Cell with a target to achieve over Rs.50,000 crore in asset monetisation for the fiscal year 2024-25. This strategic move aims to enhance the financial resources available for the development and maintenance of national highways.

The Asset Monetisation Cell is tasked with identifying, evaluating, and managing various assets that can be monetised through leasing, partnerships, or sale. This initiative is part of a broader effort to mobilize private sector investments and optimize the use of existing infrastructure assets. The funds generated from monetisation will be reinvested into infrastructure projects to improve and expand the national highway network.

NHAI's focus on asset monetisation is driven by the need to address funding gaps in the highway sector and to accelerate the pace of infrastructure development. By leveraging its assets, NHAI aims to secure additional financial resources without relying solely on government funding.

The process involves a comprehensive assessment of NHAI's assets, including toll plazas, land parcels, and other infrastructure components, to determine their potential value and optimal monetisation strategies. The Cell will work closely with financial and legal advisors to ensure effective execution and compliance with regulatory requirements.

This initiative is expected to attract significant interest from investors and private entities, contributing to the overall growth and modernization of India's transportation infrastructure. The successful implementation of this plan will not only boost NHAI's financial strength but also enhance the quality of road infrastructure across the country.
