The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will be the flag-bearer of the government’s asset monetisation programme with a plan to raise about Rs 30-40,000 crore through monetisation of its operational stretches over the next two years.
The company officials indicated that the disruptions in wake of pandemic delayed some of its asset monetisation plan, but with traffic fast returning to near normal levels now, about Rs 10,000 crore of road assets would be monetised by NHAI in the current year (FY22) and the exercise would kick up pace next year with doubling or tripling of the numbers in the next few years.
