Created to monetize operational road assets in India, NHIT operates through its 100% subsidiaries—NHIT Western Projects Private Limited (NWPPL), NHIT Eastern Projects Private Limited (NEPPL), and the newly formed NHIT Southern Projects Private Limited (NSPPL)—housing a portfolio of 26 toll road projects with a total length of approximately 2,341 km across ten states.

Pros and Cons

Pros
Cons
Strong Ratings and Favorable Debt Terms: India Ratings assigned an 'IND AAA/Stable' rating to NHIT's proposed term loans and working capital, reflecting robust debt protection features including a DSCR-linked cash trap at 1.35x and a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) covering three months of debt obligations.
Diversified and Resilient Portfolio: The InvIT’s portfolio of 26 operational toll road assets spans ten states (such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra), ensuring that no single asset contributes more than 9% of total toll revenues, which mitigates concentration and isolated event risks.
Robust Operational and Management Framework: Managed by experienced professionals under NHAI, the InvIT benefits from a strong sponsor and established operating history (ranging from 5 to 18 years for its projects), coupled with a track record of healthy toll collections that grew by 4% YoY in Round 1 assets during 8MFY25.
Adequate Liquidity and Modest Leverage: With a projected average DSCR over 1.80x and a consolidated net outstanding debt-to-enterprise value of around 39% for its initial three rounds of assets, NHIT maintains strong liquidity to meet its obligations and distribute surplus cash.
Strategic Growth through Acquisitions: NHIT successfully added seven assets in Round 3 and is progressing on acquiring 11 additional assets (Round 4) valued at INR 182.82 billion, highlighting a solid pipeline for expanding and diversifying its revenue-generating asset base.
