NHAI eyes sub- ₹1.5 trillion debt in FY27, zero debt by 2030
India’s state-owned highway builder is accelerating debt reduction as part of a broader move away from market borrowings, and towards budgetary support and asset monetization, in order to ease interest costs and strengthen its balance sheet.
According to two people aware of the matter, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to reduce its debt to below ₹1.5 trillion in the current financial year (FY27), with an aim to eventually become a debt-free entity by 2030.
