Adani, DP Jain Infra highest bidders for NHAI’s TOT-5 auction

08 Mar 2021 CW Staff

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has raised around Rs 630 crore more than the base price for its fifth round of toll operate transfer (TOT) auctions.

Last year, in September, NHAI had invited bids for the fifth TOT bundle package, its smallest ever tender for asset monetisation, without a base price, as it looked to get better price bids for its operating assets.

Separate bids were invited for the two bundles, each consisting of one national highway stretch in Gujarat. The total length of the two bundles is around 160 km.

DP Jain and Co Infrastructure and Adani Enterprises, which emerged as the highest bidders in the 5A-1 and 5A-2 packages last month, are now set to secure the respective bids.
