National Highways Infra Trust completes its fourth and largest fundraise, strengthening India’s road infrastructure network.

The National Highways Infra Trust (NHIT), an Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) established by NHAI in 2020, has successfully completed its fourth round of fundraising, raising ₹18,380 crore. This marks the largest monetization transaction in India’s road sector.

NHIT secured around ₹8,340 crore in unit capital from domestic and international investors and ₹10,040 crore in debt from domestic lenders. The funds will be used to acquire highway stretches across Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh at a concession value of ₹17,738 crore.

A notable highlight was the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) investing ₹2,035 crore — its first-ever investment in an InvIT. With this round, NHIT’s portfolio now includes 26 toll roads spanning 2,345 km across 12 states.

This milestone strengthens India’s road infrastructure, enhancing connectivity and logistics efficiency nationwide.
