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%.
