Centre sets highway construction and monetisation targets for 2025-26

 The target is around 4 per cent lower than the revised construction target of 10,421 km in 2024-25.  As a part of this plan, the centre aims to develop around 750 km of highways in tribal regions and 1,100 km in the northeastern states. Further, a high-speed corridor (HSC) spanning 5,800 km is expected to be made operational during 2025-26.

The monetisation target set for 2025-26 is around Rs 300 billion, a 23 per cent decrease from the target of Rs 390 billion set for 2024-25. Of this, around Rs 66.61 billion has already been mobilised via the toll-operate-transfer (TOT) route. Two more TOT bundles are expected to bring in an additional Rs 180 billion. From project-based financing, around Rs 27.75 billion has already been raised against the target of Rs 90 billion in 2024-25. Furthermore, the National Highways Infrastructure Trust (NHIT) is expected to raise another Rs 200 billion via the monetisation of 12 road assets totalling over 844 km in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Chhattisgarh.

For 2025-26, around Rs 150 billon each is expected to be mobilised via the infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) and TOT model. No target has been set for project-based financing.
Moreover, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified 24 highway assets with a combined length of 1,472 km for monetisation during 2025-26.
