- The road sector has seen significant progress in the past couple of years despite disruptions on account of the pandemic. The construction and award of projects have been at an all-time high and asset monetisation has emerged a key source of raising long- term capital in the sector.
- The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) constructed over 13,000 km of national highways in 2020-21, which is about 37 km per day. About 11,000 km of road projects were awarded, an increase of 20 per cent from 2019-20. During 2021-22, 12,000 km of highways are targeted for construction. As of October 2021, about 40 per cent of this target has been achieved. During April-October 2021, the ministry awarded about 5,000 km of road projects.
- The National Monetisation Pipeline has identified-6,800 km of operational roads for monetisation. NHAI has been able to lease out three TOT bundles, thereby raising around Rs 170 billion. It has also invited the bids for bundles 6, 7 and 8.
- InvITs have gained immense popularity. The sector today has five InviT platforms with 5,558 km of assets and three InvITs with a total length of about 4,500 km in the pipeline. Recently,NHAI’s InvIT comprising a portfolio of five toll assets was launched. CPP Investments and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan bought 50 per cent units.
- Developers have also been monetising assets to deleverage their balance sheets. In the past seven to eight years, monetisation of over 50 assets has generated an investment of over Rs 500 billion.
- The next few years will offer abundant opportunities to developers, contractors and investors. The aim is to develop a national highway network of 200,000 km by 2025. The Task Force for the National Infrastructure Pipeline has highlighted a total capital investment of Rs 20.34 trillion for the sector by 2025.
- With such ambitious targets to meet, the sector is looking at ways to fast-track execution and development of good quality roads. The industry is now relying on safer and sustainable means of road development. There has also been an increased focus on reducing the cost of construction and enhancing quality through the use of new technologies, innovative equipment and alternative materials.
- There has also been a growing focus on smart tolling. The government aims to integrate FASTag with all state and toll plazas. Road safety continues to be a high priority area. The target is to reduce road accident deaths by 50 per cent by 2024.
- The mission of this conference is to highlight the emerging sector trends, assess the recent progress, identify new opportunities, and discuss the future strategies to fast-track project implementation.
