IRB Infrastructure said having received the permission, it will now complete the transfer process and will also receive full consideration of Rs 3.42 billion.

The move will result in a consolidated debt reduction of Rs 9.55 billion. Last month, IRB Infra announced that it had executed a share purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements for the transfer of the Vadodara-Kim Expressway Project to the IRB InvIT Fund.

The Vadodara-Kim stretch, which is part of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, is 23.74 km long and has a project cost outlay of Rs 20.94 billion.

In June this year, the company mentioned that the Vadodara-Kim expressway project offered meaningful cashflow visibility of over 15 years to the public InvIT. The transaction will free cash for IRB to fund its future project pipeline.
