NHAI Unlocks Rs.20,000 Crore Via InvITs

NHAI's monetization efforts are part of a larger plan to raise funds for ongoing and future highway projects. The funds generated will support the construction of new highways, maintenance of existing ones, and enhancement of road safety measures. This approach also aims to reduce the financial burden on the government by tapping into private sector investments.

The process involves creating special purpose vehicles (SPVs) for road assets, which are then transferred to InvITs. These trusts pool investments from various investors and distribute dividends generated from the toll revenues of these road projects. NHAI has successfully used InvITs in the past, and this continued strategy reflects its commitment to innovative financing mechanisms.

The proposed monetization will focus on completed and operational highways with a proven track record of revenue generation. This ensures that investors have confidence in the stability and profitability of their investments. The government is also considering regulatory and policy support to make these investments more attractive, including tax incentives and streamlined approval processes.

This initiative is expected to not only provide NHAI with much-needed funds but also contribute to the overall growth of the Indian economy by improving infrastructure quality, reducing transportation costs, and boosting trade and commerce. By involving private investors in public infrastructure projects, the government aims to accelerate development while maintaining fiscal prudence.
