The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified nine road stretches with a total length of over 550 km for monetisation through the Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) route in the current financial year, according to official sources.

The road assets, which will be monetised via the National Highways Infrastructure Trust (NHIT), are located in the states of Maharashtra, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal. This will mark the fifth round of monetisation through the InvIT route since its launch in 2021-22.

Every year one round of InvIT has been done, but this year there could be two issues. The Asset Monetisation Strategy document does talk of having more than one round in InvIT per year.
