KKR-backed Highways Infrastructure Trust (HIT) will acquire 12 road projects from PNC Infratech and PNC Infra Holdings at an enterprise value of Rs 9,005.7 crore. This will be one of the biggest acquisitions in the road and highways sector.

The total projects represent about 3,800 lane kilometres in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka, the company said in a statement.

Of the 12 projects, 10 are currently operational and rest are under-construction, and will be acquired after operations begin.

?This is a defining transaction in the roads sector, and acquisition of this portfolio demonstrates our commitment to growth and delivering value to our unit holders,? said Neeraj Sanghi, chief executive officer, Highway Concessions One, the investment manager of the trust.
