To unlock the value of operational National Highway assets and boost Public-Private Partnership (PPP), the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) launched its first-ever ‘Asset Monetization Strategy for the Road Sector’ on 9 June 2025.
- The strategy provides a structured framework to mobilize capital through Toll-Operate-Transfer (ToT), Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), and securitization models.
- These instruments have already helped NHAI raise over ₹1.4 lakh crore across 6,100 km of highways under the National Monetisation Pipeline.
- It is built on three core pillars:
- Value maximization of road assets
- Transparency and investor information dissemination
- Market development and broader investor participation
NHAI Chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav emphasized that the strategy ensures financial sustainability and private sector involvement, enhancing road asset quality and longevity.
Member Finance, N.R.V.V.M.K. Rajendra Kumar, added that the document fosters structured, transparent monetisation, boosting investor confidence.
The strategy supports the Government of India’s Asset Monetisation Plan (2025–30) and marks a shift to sustainable, market-driven infrastructure financing.
