The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is projected to receive a modest budget increase of 1-2.5% for FY27, reaching approximately 2.9-2.94 lakh crore. This marginal hike is attributed to slower fund utilization and increased reliance on private financing, including a potential revival of the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model. Despite these shifts, ongoing Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) projects will still require significant budgetary support.
