The National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI’s) debt has gone up 14 times since 2014-15 to stand at Rs 3,38,570 crore, as on November 31, 2021, Parliament was informed on Wednesday.
Replying to a written question in Rajya Sabha, minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said that since NHAI is an autonomous body, its debt is not accounted as part of the Union government’s debt, but in the books of NHAI.
