India’s road sector has marked a historic milestone with the largest InvIT monetization transaction ever recorded—₹18,380 crore—successfully concluded by National Highways Infra Trust (NHIT). This landmark achievement not only reinforces investor confidence in India’s national highway assets but also demonstrates the strength of data-driven decision-making in modern infrastructure investments.
At the heart of this success lies a network of credible technical inputs, among which Translink Infrastructure Consultants Private Limited is proud to have played a key role.
Translink’s Contribution: Insight That Strengthens Investment Decisions
InvIT monetization transactions depend heavily on the accuracy of baseline traffic numbers, robust growth forecasts, and the credibility of long-term revenue projections. For this transaction, Translink provided:
- Comprehensive baseline traffic assessments across multiple influencing nodes
- Commodity- and passenger-class movement analysis
- OD-based modelling to predict future travel patterns
- Growth rate modelling factoring in regional development, economic trends, and competing infrastructure
- Investor-grade reporting that balances asset attractiveness with revenue realism
Our role extends beyond numbers—we help create confidence in the asset, enabling fair and competitive bidding for both investors and NHAI.
A Monumental Transaction for India’s Infrastructure Ecosystem
The ₹18,380 crore fundraising—combining unit capital from top domestic and global investors and debt funding from major financial institutions—resulted in:
- 26 operating toll roads under NHIT across 2,345 km,
- Spanning 12 states,
- With 41 toll plazas,
- Held under 20–30 year concession periods.
The scale of participation—from pension funds, provident funds, insurance companies, and international investors—signals a maturing infrastructure investment environment powered by reliable data and transparent processes.
Why Traffic Due Diligence Matters More Than Ever
Infrastructure monetization is accelerating in India. With NHAI’s total asset monetization program crossing ₹46,000 crore, precision in traffic estimation has evolved from a technical requirement to a critical investment safeguard.
Accurate traffic insights ensure:
- Investor confidence in long-term revenue stability
- Fair valuation for NHAI
- Balanced risk–reward for concessionaires
- Sustainable financial models for InvITs
- Efficient capital allocation toward new infrastructure projects
Translink’s methodologies—built on deep technical expertise and decades of field insight—play a vital role in bringing transparency and reliability to this ecosystem.
Enabling a Future of Smart, Data-Driven Infrastructure Monetization
This transaction represents more than a financial milestone—it is a symbol of how technical excellence, data integrity, and sectoral expertise are shaping India’s infrastructure future.
As NHAI continues to unlock value through TOT, InvIT, and securitization mechanisms, Translink remains committed to providing the high-precision traffic intelligence required for the next wave of investments.
When insights are accurate, investments become stronger—
and infrastructure becomes unstoppable.
