IRB Infrastructure Reports 25% Rise in August Toll Revenue to Rs 807 Crore
IRB Infrastructure Developers reported a 25% year-on-year increase in gross toll revenue to Rs 807.4 crore in August 2026, up from Rs 646.2 crore in August 2025. This growth was driven by sustained traffic increases across its 28 highway assets, tariff revisions at the start of FY27, and economic factors like robust GDP growth and the festive season. Key contributors included the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Golconda Expressway, and Ahmedabad Vadodara Super Express Tollway. New toll collections began on three assets during 2026, expanding the portfolio across 13 states.
