NHAI-Backed Raajmarg InvIT To Launch Rs 60 Billion IPO

10 Mar 2026 CW Team

Through the InvIT, authorities intend to unlock economic value from operational national highway projects while creating a stable, income generating vehicle. The structure is designed for retail and domestic institutional investors seeking long term yield exposure to infrastructure assets. The red herring prospectus sets the issue size and other operational details to govern asset transfer and revenue sharing arrangements. The offering is expected to broaden the investor base for infrastructure finance.

The total issue size stands at up to Rs 60 billion, revised upwards from the earlier proposed Rs 57 billion at the draft stage in January, and this increase is presented as evidence of confidence in demand for infrastructure backed instruments. Market interest in long term yield assets has been cited as a driver for the larger sizing and for the timing of the issue. Anchor investor participation a day earlier is intended to provide early price discovery and allotment stability. The InvIT will hold a portfolio of operational highways and will focus on predictable toll and fee based cash flows.

The proposed offer is part of a broader asset monetisation strategy aimed at creating new revenue streams and improving utilisation of public infrastructure. By transferring operational assets into a yield oriented vehicle the authority expects to mobilise long term capital for infrastructure development. Retail participation in such offerings is encouraged to deepen domestic savings allocation into infrastructure and to diversify investor holdings. The transaction is positioned as a significant step in the recycling of highway assets towards renewed investment.

Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (InvIT), sponsored by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), is set to enter the capital markets with an initial public offering of Rs 60 billion (Rs 60 bn). The maiden public issue will open for subscription on 11 March and close on 13 March, with anchor investors able to bid on 10 March. The InvIT route has been selected to widen public participation in highway asset ownership and investment. The launch marks a notable milestone in the government’s efforts to monetise national highway infrastructure.
