8% Y-o-Y Toll Revenue Growth for IRB Infra for Q1FY26

India’s leading and the largest multi-national transport Infrastructure Developer IRB Infrastructure Developers and its listed Private InvIT Joint Venture IRB Infrastructure Trust have collectively reported 8 per cent Y-o-Y growth in the toll revenue for the April to June quarter of FY26.  

The toll revenue of both the entities for the period under review, i.e., April to June quarter of FY26, is Rs 16.80 billion as against Rs 15.56 billion in the corresponding April to June quarter of FY25. 

The early onset of the monsoon this year had a moderate impact on traffic growth during June. Nonetheless, both entities reported a combined toll revenue of Rs 5.45 billion in June 2025, compared to Rs 5.17 billion in June 2024 despite the seasonal headwinds.

Commenting on this, Amitabh Murarka, Dy. CEO, IRB Infrastructure Developers, said, “It is encouraging to witness sustained growth in toll collections throughout the first quarter of FY26, compared to the same period last year — despite the early onset of the monsoon in many parts of the country, which had a marginal impact on traffic volumes.” He added, “Looking ahead, we expect this positive growth trajectory to continue, supported by the anticipated completion of ongoing projects in our portfolio, which will further strengthen revenue visibility.”
