NHAI’s Asset Recycling plan

This was for the Monetisation of a bundle of Nibe highways with an aggregate length of about 680 kM

Under the TOT model, the concessionaire pays a one-time concession fee upfront, and gets the right to toll the project stretch for the predetermined 30 years concession period, while being obliged to maintain and operate the highways to prescribed standards

Every 10 years, the actual traffic growth is reviewed against the initial projections, and the concession period duration is adjusted accordingly
