In a major step toward strengthening road asset monetization and expanding investment opportunities
in the development of National Highway infrastructure, NHAI is in the process of establishing
Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust (RIIT) as a Public InvIT. As part of this initiative, NHAI has
incorporated Raajmarg Infra Investment Managers Private Limited (RIIMPL) as the Investment
Manager for the proposed InvIT. RIIMPL was launched by NHAI Chairman, Shri Santosh Kumar
Yadav at Mumbai. Senior NHAI officials and representatives from participating institutions were also
present on the occasion.
RIIMPL is a collaborative venture with equity participation from leading banks and financial
institutions including State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, NaBFID, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv
Ventures Ltd., HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, IndusInd Bank, and Yes Bank. This partnership
aims to unlock the monetization potential of the National Highway assets while creating a high-
quality, long-term investment product primarily targeting retail and domestic investors. Shri
NRVVMK Rajendra Kumar, Member (Finance), NHAI, has been appointed as the Managing Director
and CEO (Additional Charge) of the Investment Manager company.
Speaking on the occasion, the NHAI Chairman, Shri Santosh Kumar Yadav said “NHAI has
established a robust record in asset monetization. In recent years, we have successfully monetized
assets worth ₹48,995 crore through the Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT) model and raised around
₹43,638 crore across four rounds of Private InvITs, attracting major domestic and international
investors. Over the next 3–5 years, around 1,500 km of completed and operational National Highways
will be introduced into the Public InvIT, opening substantial investment avenues for the public. I am
sure that this initiative will mark a new chapter of public participation in building the National
