The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified 17 National Highway assets with a combined length of 1,692.5 km for monetisation under toll-operate-transfer (TOT) and infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) frameworks during the financial year 2026–27. Advertisement
The identified highway stretches are spread across nine states, including Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra. These corridors are considered important for connectivity and logistics movement, with established traffic patterns and stable revenue potential.
According to the authority, these highway sections form part of key economic routes that support regional and inter-state transport efficiency. The monetisation process is expected to focus on assets with strong operational performance and long-term investment appeal.
The authority has stated that the monetisation exercise will be executed through structured and transparent mechanisms under the TOT and InvIT models. These models have been used in recent years to attract institutional investors into highway infrastructure by allowing long-term revenue rights in exchange for upfront capital, while ensuring professional asset management and maintenance.
India has been steadily expanding its highway monetisation programme over the past few years as part of broader infrastructure financing reforms, with TOT and InvIT routes becoming established channels for unlocking value from operational assets.
It has also been clarified that the identified list does not include assets proposed under the Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (RIIT) for the same financial year.
The selected highway stretches include the Hazaribagh–Barhi–Koderma section of NH-20 (68.8 km), the Delhi/Haryana Border to Rohtak section of NH-9 in Haryana (52 km), the Trichy to Thuvarankurichi–Madurai stretch of NH-38 (124.8 km), and the Aligarh to Kanpur section of NH-34 (283.8 km), among others.
