Around a dozen firms, both domestic and foreign, including Macquarie, Brookfield, Roadis, Adani and IRB Infrastructure, have evinced interest in the nine highway stretches that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has offered under the toll-operate-transfer (TOT) model aiming to garner at least `4,995 crore upfront.
Sources said Cube Highway, L&T, NIIF, MEP Infrastructure and Autostarde have also bought request for proposal (RFP) documents and attended pre-bid meetings with the authority. However, it could not be verified with individual companies.
