National Highways Infra Trust reported an 81% increase in total revenue from operations to ₹4,274 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, driven by the monetization of Round 4 assets. Profit after tax for the period stood at ₹686 crore, compared to ₹325 crore in the previous year. The trust’s Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit reached ₹150.5 as of March 26, reflecting steady growth since inception.

Financial Performance

The consolidated financial performance for FY26 shows significant growth across key metrics. Revenue from Operations for Round 1 and 2 assets (SPV 1 NWPPL) was ₹1,098 crore, while Round 3 assets (SPV 2 NEPPL) contributed ₹1,513 crore. Following the April 1, 2025, appointed date for Round 4 assets (SPV 3 NSPPL), these assets added ₹1,663 crore to the revenue stream.

Metric (₹ in Cr) FY 25 FY 26
Total Revenue from Operations 2,364 4,274
EBITDA 1,975 3,494
Finance Charges 1,055 1,723
PAT 325 686
Debt (end of period) 21,780 25,229
DSCR 2.10x 2.26x
Distribution 1,031 2,234

The trust’s distribution per unit increased to ₹11.329 in FY26 from ₹7.671 in the previous year. Total units outstanding rose to 213.85 crore from 193.68 crore, partly due to the fund raise in Round 5 during March 2026.

Operational Metrics

Traffic and revenue performance varied across the trust’s portfolio. For NWPPL, locations such as KK and BM saw commercial traffic growth along the NH 44 corridor, with revenue increasing by 15% and 13% respectively. However, traffic diversion at AP and AS due to alternate roads being made free by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways impacted performance. In NEPPL, RKJL reported a 14% revenue growth following the addition of the Katni Bypass length and revised toll rates. NSPPL assets, which were under a transition period until September 2025, showed strong recovery in H2 FY26, with MH traffic growing by 36%.

Portfolio and Governance

National Highways Infra Trust holds a portfolio of approximately 2,655 km acquired in five rounds, with an enterprise value of ₹57,373 crore as of March 31, 2026. The portfolio is predominantly located in high-growth states, with Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh contributing 19%, 16%, and 14% respectively to FY26 revenue. The trust maintains a credit rating of AAA by CARE and India Ratings and holds ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications across all SPVs.
