Road InvITs AUM Expected to Grow 30% to Rs 3.9 Trillion by FY27: Crisil

Crisil Ratings projects a 30% growth in assets under management (AUM) of road infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) to Rs 3.9 trillion by fiscal year 2027, driven by asset monetisation efforts by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and continued sales of hybrid annuity model (HAM) assets. Toll road assets currently dominate InvIT portfolios at around 85%, though their share is expected to slightly decline as annuity assets increase. The sector has seen over 25% annual AUM growth in recent years, supported by rising traffic and inflation-indexed toll hikes.
