The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced a new corporate identity for its infrastructure investment arm, National Highways Infra Trust (NHIT), by unveiling a refreshed logo. This new identity, symbolizing agility and progress, marks a pivotal moment in NHIT’s journey. The updated logo is designed to enhance NHIT’s brand visibility among various stakeholders and to reflect its core values: Accountability, Agility, Continuous Learning, Excellence, Integrity, and Collaboration.
NHAI Chairman, Santosh Kumar Yadav, presented the new logo at a ceremony held at the NHAI Headquarters in New Delhi yesterday. The event was attended by senior officials from both NHAI and NHIT.
Established as a trust registered with SEBI in October 2020, NHIT supports the Government of India’s National Monetization Pipeline (NMP). Through three rounds of monetization, NHIT has realized a total value of Rs. 26,125 crore.
Currently, NHIT boasts 190 investors and over 12,000 retail bondholders of its Non-Convertible Debentures. It manages a diverse portfolio of fifteen toll roads, totaling approximately 1,525 kilometers across nine states: Assam, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
Initially, NHIT units were issued at Rs. 101 per unit in November 2021 and are now listed on both the BSE and the NSE. As of March 31, 2024, the Net Asset Value (NAV) of NHIT stands at Rs. 124.75 per unit. For the fiscal year 2024-25, NHAI plans to monetize projects worth Rs. 15,000 – 20,000 crore through NHIT.
The new corporate identity is set to position NHIT as a leading player in the InvIT space, playing a crucial role in channeling financial capital for the further development of the national highway network across India.
