Private investors are poised to commit nearly Rs 1 trillion to highway construction in 2026-27, marking the highest annual private sector contribution to India’s roads infrastructure. Projects worth Rs 350 billion under the BOT (toll) model are set for bidding in the first quarter of 2026-27.
Additionally, the detailed project reports (DPR) for projects worth Rs 500-600 billion are being finalised and are expected to be opened for bidding in the third and fourth quarters. The focus is expected to be on six-lane access-controlled corridors, underscoring the government’s focus on high-capacity highways aimed at improving logistics efficiency and cutting travel time.
