In a significant stride toward enhancing India’s road infrastructure, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has surpassed its construction targets for the Financial Year 2024-25, laying down 5,614 kilometers of National Highways—exceeding its goal of 5,150 km.
The fiscal year also witnessed an unprecedented surge in capital expenditure for highway development. NHAI recorded a provisional capital outlay of over ₹2.5 lakh crore, outpacing the set target of ₹2.4 lakh crore. This marks the highest-ever capital expenditure by the authority in a single year, representing a robust 21% increase over the ₹2.07 lakh crore spent in FY 2023-24 and a striking 45% jump from ₹1.73 lakh crore in FY 2022-23.
The authority’s financial performance was further bolstered by its aggressive monetization strategy, generating a total of ₹28,724 crore. This includes revenue from Toll Operate Transfer (TOT), Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvIT), and Toll Securitization. Notably, NHAI secured its highest-ever single-round InvIT receipt worth ₹17,738 crore—reflecting growing investor confidence in India’s highway infrastructure assets.
NHAI reaffirmed its commitment to building world-class highways that not only facilitate efficient transportation but also fuel economic growth and national development. With these milestones, the authority continues to play a transformative role in reshaping India’s road network and reinforcing the country’s logistical backbone.
