NHAI Plans to Monetize Up to $2.4 Billion in Assets by 2024

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has set an ambitious target to monetize assets worth up to $2.4 billion by the end of 2024. This strategic move is part of NHAI?s broader effort to enhance funding for its expansive infrastructure development projects.

NHAI plans to achieve this through a variety of monetization methods, including asset securitization, toll collection rights, and public-private partnerships. The focus will be on leveraging the existing infrastructure assets to generate significant revenue, which will be reinvested into highway expansion and maintenance projects.

The asset monetization initiative is aimed at improving the financial sustainability of NHAI while accelerating the development of key national highways. This approach is expected to reduce the reliance on government budget allocations and provide a more sustainable funding mechanism for ongoing and future projects.

By monetizing its assets, NHAI hopes to address funding gaps, improve project execution timelines, and enhance the quality of India?s highway infrastructure. The success of this plan will also demonstrate the potential for similar models to be adopted by other sectors in need of investment and financial innovation.
