Commenting on the occasion, Shri Santosh Kumar Yadav, Chairman, NHAI, said, “Through this Public InvIT, retail investors will not only gain the opportunity to earn stable and attractive returns from operational National Highway assets but will also develop a sense of ownership and pride in contributing to the growth of national infrastructure.”
The monetisation through Public InvIT is aligned with the Government of India’s National Monetisation Pipeline objectives aimed at unlocking value from operational infrastructure assets and enhancing private sector participation in infrastructure management. Over the next 3 to 5 years, NHAI plans to provide further assets of about 1,500 km to RIIT.
NHAI-sponsored Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (RIIT) aims to unlock the monetization potential of the National Highway assets while creating a high-quality, long-term investment instrument primarily targeting retail and domestic investors. The initiative marks an important step in broadening public participation in the National Highway infrastructure growth story. The development marks a significant milestone in NHAI’s asset monetisation programme and demonstrates continued investor confidence in India’s mature road infrastructure portfolio.
