The work supports monetisation under the Toll Operate Transfer (TOT) and Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) frameworks.

CPCL’s scope included comprehensive technical, financial and environmental due diligence to assess asset quality, investment readiness and long-term viability. Several of the evaluated assets form part of portfolios managed by entities such as IRB Infrastructure Trust, Cube Highways and the National Highways Infra Trust (NHIT).

Commenting on the milestone, Sanjay Kumar Sinha, Founder and Managing Director, Chaitanya Projects Consultancy, said the assignments reinforce the firm’s role in enabling transparent, investment-ready infrastructure development. He added that the projects support India’s broader asset monetisation agenda by unlocking capital for future highway development and strengthening investor confidence.

The company reported revenue of over US$ 10 million in FY25 and has delivered a five-year CAGR of 28.2 per cent. With a growing portfolio across highways, urban infrastructure and energy projects, CPCL continues to play a key role in India’s infrastructure modernisation efforts.
