India Targets Rs 350 Billion Highway Monetisation In FY27

22 May 2026 CW Team

Asset recycling is intended to allow proceeds from existing infrastructure to be reinvested into new projects, thereby reducing reliance on traditional budgetary support and accelerating project delivery. The government has been utilising models such as Toll-Operate-Transfer and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to attract private capital and improve operational efficiencies, with InvITs increasingly positioned as a vehicle for long term asset ownership. These approaches are presented as tools to deepen investor participation in the road sector.

The FY27 plan builds on prior transactions that have delivered steady returns and attracted both domestic and global investors, and it is designed to sustain investor interest in road assets that offer predictable cash flows. The initiative also forms part of the National Monetisation Pipeline two point zero, under which highway assets worth over Rs 4 trillion (Rs 4 tn) are expected to be monetised between FY26 and FY30. Officials view the pipeline as a multi year framework to mobilise private resources for public infrastructure.

Policymakers expect asset monetisation to play a central role in bridging funding gaps, accelerating execution of projects and strengthening the country’s road network, while supporting a larger infrastructure expansion agenda. Continued emphasis on clear regulatory frameworks and transparent bid processes is intended to maintain investor confidence and deliver value from operational assets across the lifecycle.

The government plans to accelerate its infrastructure funding strategy by monetising highway assets worth around Rs 350 billion (Rs 350 bn) in FY27 as part of a broader drive to recycle capital and support new road projects. The programme envisages the monetisation of 28 national highway stretches spanning over 1,800 kilometres, with assets identified by the National Highways Authority of India and states such as Haryana and Uttar Pradesh accounting for a significant share of the pipeline. The move reflects a sustained effort to unlock value from operational assets and free up capital for fresh investment.
