India's Ambitious Plan: Monetising $24 billion Highways by 2027

India is embarking on an ambitious endeavour to monetise approximately $24 billion worth of highways by the year 2027, according to reports. The plan aims to unlock the economic potential of the country's extensive road network, offering opportunities for private sector investment and participation. The initiative aligns with India's vision to accelerate infrastructure development and boost economic growth.

By monetising these highways, the government intends to attract private investment, enhance road quality and services, and generate revenue through various mechanisms such as tolls, lease agreements, and concessions.

This strategic move could pave the way for modernisation and expansion of the road network, ultimately leading to improved connectivity, reduced travel time, and increased trade opportunities. It also aligns with India's broader goals of promoting sustainable transportation and reducing traffic congestion. Key stakeholders in this venture include the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

As India progresses towards becoming a trillion-dollar economy, this ambitious plan to monetise highways is a significant step towards achieving its infrastructure and economic development goals.
