The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said it has exceeded the construction of National Highways in the country in FY25 wherein it constructed 5,614 km of National Highways against the target of 5,150 km for the year.
In addition, the Capital Expenditure by NHAI in Financial Year 2024-25 for development of National Highway Infrastructure reached an all-time high of over Rs 2,50,000 crore (provisional) against a target expenditure of Rs 2,40,000 crore.
“This highest ever capital expenditure in a Financial Year by NHAI includes both Government budgetary support and NHAI’s own resources.”
The overall capital expenditure increased by around 21% as compared to Rs 2,07,000 crore in previous FY 2023-24 and by around 45% as compared to Rs 1,73,000 crore in FY 2022-23.
NHAI said it leveraged three modes for monetization in FY25, which included Toll Operate Transfer (TOT), Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) and Toll Securitisation.
During the Financial Year, NHAI monetized assets for a total of Rs 28,724 crore. This includes NHAI’s highest ever single round InvIT receipt worth Rs 17,738 crore.
NHAI is committed to build world class National Highway infrastructure across the country that will contribute not only to the growth of the road sector but will also play a critical role in nation building and advancing the growth of the Indian economy.
