Operational and Maintenance Update
During the fiscal year, the company initiated multi-phased road repair and upkeep activities including Bituminous Concrete (BC), SDBC works, micro-surfacing, and other related repairs across critical sections of the carriageway. The second phase of the planned upgradation programme was delayed due to statutory restrictions under GRAP-IV, which prohibited road upgradation and allied activities, pushing the completion timeline into April 2026, which has since been completed. The DND Flyway continues to serve over 2.5 lakh daily commuters connecting Delhi and Noida.
NTBCL's Board undertook an Independent Technical Assessment of the DND Flyway, conducted by CRISIL Intelligence (Routine Operations and Major Maintenance) and Almondz Global Infra (Bridge Assessment). The assessment confirmed that the DND Flyway remains structurally sound and does not require any major structural strengthening or rehabilitation in the immediate future. The assessment estimated phased functional overlay and upkeep requirements of approximately ₹20 crore (at current prices) over the next five years towards maintaining ride quality, preventive maintenance, and routine asset preservation measures.
Legal and Regulatory Developments
The Board took note of the interim stay granted by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court on NOIDA Authority's demand letter dated September 10, 2025, which sought to stop NTBCL's advertisement displays and recover over ₹100 crore in alleged advertisement license fees. The court, by its order dated September 25, 2025, restrained NOIDA from taking any coercive action against NTBCL or disrupting its advertisement operations, with protection extended till July 28, 2026. Advertising revenue continued to be the primary income stream during the quarter, supporting regular maintenance, security, and financial commitments.
The following table summarises the key pending legal matters:
| Matter: | Status |
|---|---|
| NOIDA Advertisement Fee Demand (₹100 crore approx): | Delhi High Court stay in force; next hearing July 28, 2026 |
