NHAI Forms An Asset Monetisation Cell At NHAI Headquarters

NHAI, vide policy circular dated July 29, 2024, formed a dedicated Asset Monetisation Cell ("AMC") which will be based out of its headquarters. The AMC will oversee the monetisation of completed and operational highway assets of NHAI and fulfil the goal of NHAI's 'Asset Monetisation Program' i.e., to "unlock the value of investments in public sector assets by tapping into private sector capital and efficiencies which can thereafter be leveraged for capacity augmentation/greenfield infrastructure creation".

Some of the key functions of the AMC will be as follows:

1. conduct market analysis and feasibility studies to identify potential assets of NHAI for monetisation;
2. identify suitable projects for monetisation, focusing on those with established toll collection records and potential for revenue generation;
