NHAI targets Rs 40,000-crore via monetisation in FY26

In the first highway monetisation instance of the current financial year, IRB Infrastructure is learnt to have emerged as the highest bidder for an operational asset being monetised through Toll Operate Transfer (TOT) mode. The company won the bid with an offer of Rs 9,200 crore for 333.4 km highway network in Uttar Pradesh, sources privy to the development said.

This marks a revival of investor interest in operational highways, especially those with high revenue potential.
