NHAI Unveils New Corporate Identity For National Highways Infra Trust

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced a new corporate identity for its infrastructure investment trust, National Highways Infra Trust (NHIT), marked by the launch of a new logo symbolising ‘Agility’ and ‘Progress.’ This significant milestone reflects NHIT's evolution and aims to enhance its brand visibility among stakeholders while aligning with its core values: Accountability, Agility, Continuous Learning, Excellence, Integrity, and Collaboration.

The new logo was unveiled by NHAI Chairman, Santosh Kumar Yadav, at the NHAI Headquarters in New Delhi, in the presence of senior officials from both NHAI and NHIT.

Registered with SEBI in October 2020, NHIT supports the Government of India's National Monetization Pipeline (NMP). Through three rounds of monetisation, NHIT has realised a total value of Rs. 26,125 crores. Currently, NHIT boasts 190 investors and over 12,000 retail bondholders of its Non-Convertible Debentures. It manages a diversified portfolio of fifteen toll roads, spanning approximately 1,525 kilometres across nine states: Assam, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.

NHIT units, initially issued at Rs. 101 per unit in November 2021, are listed on both the BSE and the NSE. As of March 31, 2024, the Net Asset Value (NAV) of NHIT stands at Rs. 124.75 per unit. For the fiscal year 2024-25, NHAI plans to monetize projects worth Rs. 15,000 – 20,000 crore through NHIT under the NMP.

The introduction of this new corporate identity will aid NHIT in establishing itself as a prominent player in the infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) sector, crucially channelling financial capital towards the continued development of the National Highway network across India.
