New Delhi: National Infrastructure Infrastructure Highways Infrastructure Trust (NHIT) is likely to publicly be publicly listed on Indian stock exchanges in FY26, which means a key milestone in the strategy of being monetized by assets center, two people said.
NHIT is a privately mentioned trust in the field of infrastructure (invent) established by the government’s national highway office in India (Nhai),
An extract by investors would provide access to a portfolio of more than 2,300 km of operating toll roads, which include around 30 projects creating revenue in 19 countries, added the above people.
Even more importantly, it will help NHAI unlock capital for fresh investment in infrastructure while bringing to retail investors, a goal emphasized in the strategy of monetization of the highway issued at the beginning of this month.
Currently, NHIT is currently listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), but acts as a privately mentioned entity. Currently, only institutional investors, such as private capital companies, risk capital funds and financial institutions, are currently allowed to trade.
After having monetized highway assets through the private structure of the invitation supported by global awning investors, such as the Canadian Investment Council for the Pension Plan Pension Plan and the Ontario Council, Nhai now prefers NHIT’s public extract over the establishment of a new public invitation.
Expanding the base of investors
“The aim of this step is to expand the investor base, deepen the market with the credibility of infrastructure and reduce the risk of concentration,” the person said.
“This will also allow the trust to involve retail investors for the first time in invitation with its own capital, which is part of a wider goal that allows ordinary citizens to participate in the Indian infrastructure growth story,” the person added.
So far, it has undergone the only offer of NHIT for retail investors in October 2022 edition of a non -convertible bond (NCD), where it increased £1 500 crore.
A quarter of the problem was reserved for retail investors and offered a coupon 7.9% (8.05% analized) due half -year.
“The participation of retail investors in late troops could also be carried out with a hovering new confidence at a later stage. NHIT already has a bank of highway projects under its fold, and Nhai will be more transferred to it.
“This record gives investors more confident than a new entity that still creates its portfolio and returns,” the person added.
Proposal discussed
The proposal on the NHIT list is currently discussed between Nhai and the Ministry of Road Transport and Motorway (Morth), which also evaluates separate public invitations.
Fundraising quantum via NHIT listing will depend on how many new highway sections it gets from Nhai.
Invest functions as mutual funds, association of capital investment in long -term assembly assembly assets.
They allow developers to monetize stable income flows and at the same time offer investors predictable revenues, which is particularly attractive in assets such as toll roads.
Nhai started its invitation in October 2021 and has since increased NHIT £43 638 Crore in four rounds of fundraising between FY22 and FY25 for obtaining 2,345 km of motorways.
For FY26, Morth focuses on the monetization of assets in the value £60 000 crore, although the exact mode, including the invitation route, must still be completed.
In its latest document of the NHAI monetization strategy, it stressed that “initiatives to expand the base of investors and strengthen the involvement of the parties will be essential for long -term success”.

This inclusive approach not only diversifies capital sources, but also alleviates the risks associated with market fluctuations and investors,” he said.
