Capital expenditure for highway development hit a record high of over Rs 2,500 billion (provisional), surpassing the targeted Rs 2,400 billion. This represents a 21% increase from Rs 2,070 billion in FY 2023-24 and a 45% rise from Rs 1,730 billion in FY 2022-23. The capex includes both government budgetary support and NHAI’s internal resources.

This robust performance underlines NHAI’s commitment to building world-class highway infrastructure, contributing significantly to economic growth and national development.
