State-owned NHAI on Thursday, May 28, said it has identified 17 National Highways assets with a total combined length of 1,692.5 km for monetisation under the toll-operate-transfer (TOT) and infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) modes during the financial year 2026–27.
NHAI, in a statement, said the identified National Highways assets comprise stretches across nine states, including Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra.
These Highway assets collectively represent economic and logistics corridors with established traffic potential and robust connectivity significance, it added.
NHAI said the monetisation exercise will be undertaken through transparent and structured mechanisms under the TOT and InvIT frameworks.

TOT and InvIT have emerged as successful models for attracting long-term institutional investment into further expanding the National Highway infrastructure by adopting innovative financing mechanisms for sustainable infrastructure development while ensuring efficient asset management and operational excellence.
However, the list does not include the assets proposed to be monetised through Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (RIIT) for FY 2026–27, it added.
The 17 identified National Highways assets include -- Hazaribagh-Barhi-Koderma section of NH-20 (68.8 km), Delhi/Haryana Border to Rohtak of NH-9 from KM 29.7 to KM 87 in the State of Haryana (52 km), Trichy to Thuvarankurichi Madurai of NH-38 (124.8 km) and Aligarh to Kanpur section of NH-34 (283.8 km).
