NHAI to bid out 124 highway projects worth Rs 3.4 lakh cr. in FY 26

 

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to bid out 124 highways and expressway projects worth Rs 3.4 lakh crore in the current financial year (2025-26). NHAI has put the entire list of projects in the public domain, amid a sense of uncertainty among highway developers.  This time, nearly 78% of projects will be offered under public private partnership (PPP) mode, including development of 476 km of Gorakhpur-Kishanganj-Siliguri highway, costing around Rs 35,000 crore, Patna-Purnea stretch (282 km) with estimated cost of Rs 17,076 crore, and two packages of Nashik-Ahmednagar highway, with length of 374 km, entailing an investment of little over Rs 19,000 crore. The rest of the projects will be awarded under a fully government-funded mode, as per a report.
