Highway Monetisation to Reach 400 Bn in Fy24

10 Jan 2024 CW Team

The monetisation of highway projects in India is set to achieve a substantial milestone, reaching Rs.400 billion in the fiscal year 2023-24, as announced by a senior official. This ambitious target underscores the government's commitment to leveraging the potential of highway monetisation as a crucial financial strategy.

The monetisation efforts focus on unlocking the value embedded in existing highway projects, creating a sustainable revenue stream for infrastructure development. The funds generated through this initiative play a pivotal role in financing new projects and addressing the country's evolving infrastructure needs.

The ?400 billion target reflects the growing confidence in the highway monetisation approach as a viable and effective financial mechanism. The strategy involves engaging private sector participation through various models such as toll-operate-transfer (TOT) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs).

Highway monetisation aligns with the government's broader vision of augmenting infrastructure development and boosting economic growth. By unlocking the value of existing assets, the approach facilitates efficient utilisation of resources and encourages private sector investment in the country's infrastructure landscape.

The senior official's announcement signals a proactive stance towards realizing the economic potential embedded in the highway sector. As India continues to advance its infrastructure agenda, highway monetisation emerges as a key financial instrument, contributing not only to the development of robust transportation networks but also to the overall economic progress of the nation.
