India Ratings Maintains Neutral Outlook for Transport Infrastructure Sector in FY27
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) maintains a neutral outlook for India's transport infrastructure sector in FY27, citing stable operational assets and steady toll revenue growth. Toll collections are expected to rise due to economic activity and increased toll rates. While asset monetization and infrastructure investments remain robust, over half of ongoing National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) projects face delays exceeding 12 months due to land, construction, and approval challenges. The sector shows signs of easing competition and continued private-sector participation.
