What has been intimated

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), vide its letter dated 22nd October, 2026, has approved the inclusion of 4 (Four) road stretches under InvIT Round-6 for potential acquisition by National Highways Infra Trust. This falls under the Assets Monetization plan for FY 2026-27.

The stretches on offer

• Trichy to Thuvarankurichi Madurai of NH-38 (Pkg I: KM 0 to KM 60.95; Pkg II: KM 60.95 to KM 124.84) in Tamil Nadu, with plazas at Boothakudi and Chittampatti: 124.80 km
• Madurai-Chettikulam-Natham-Thuvarankurichi of NH-785, KM 0 to KM 61.115, in Tamil Nadu, plaza Pudur: 61.10 km
• Varanasi to Birnon of NH-29, KM 12.01 to KM 84.16, in Uttar Pradesh, plaza Kaithi: 72.20 km
• Gwalior-Shivpuri Section of NH-46 in Madhya Pradesh, plazas Panihar and Mud Kheda: 125.38 km
• Sangli-Solapur (Pkg-1) section of NH 166 (Sangli-Boragaon), km 182.556 to km 233.52, in Maharashtra, plaza Borgaon: 66.00 km
• Total length: 449.48 km

Where the process stands

This is an offer of assets for consideration, not a concluded purchase. The update states the matter is subject to further evaluation and discussion by the Management and Board of Directors of National Highways Infra Investment Managers Private Limited, in its capacity as Investment Manager to the Trust.

In simple terms, NHAI has put these road stretches on the table. The Trust's Investment Manager still has to study them and take a decision. No acquisition has been approved, agreed or completed on the basis of this letter.

What the numbers tell you

The five listed stretches add up to 449.48 km of highway, which gives a sense of the scale of the asset bundle being offered. The individual stretches range from 61.10 km to 125.38 km. These are road lengths only; the update does not set out any purchase consideration, revenue, traffic or toll collection figures for these stretches.

Why investors may find it useful

For a trust that owns and operates highway assets, the pipeline of assets NHAI offers is one input into how the portfolio may grow over time. An inclusion in InvIT Round-6 places these stretches in the pool the Trust can evaluate for the current financial year's monetization plan. The actual outcome depends on the Investment Manager's evaluation and Board decision, and on the terms that may be settled later.

What to keep in mind

• This is an intimation of assets offered, not a signed transaction.
• The decision rests with the Management and Board of the Investment Manager.
• The update gives road lengths and locations, and no commercial terms.
