IRB Infra Plans Major Transfer of Highway Assets to InvIT Arm

IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd announced on Friday that it will transfer three key highway assets, valued at around ₹8,450 crore, to its publicly listed investment vehicle, the IRB InvIT Fund.

This transfer, facilitated through its associate IRB Infrastructure Trust, is scheduled for completion by the second quarter of the financial year ending March 2026, according to a regulatory filing.

Details of Highway Assets Involved in IRB Infra’s Transfer Plan

The assets set for transfer include the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects — IRB Hapur Moradabad Tollway, Kaithal Tollway, and Kishangarh Gulabpura Tollway.

These assets collectively cover approximately 1,800 lane kilometres and carry an enterprise value of ₹8,450 crore, with an equity valuation of ₹4,905 crore.

Strategic Significance of the Transaction for IRB Infra

This deal follows a non-binding offer exchanged earlier in May 2025 and represents a significant milestone for both IRB Infrastructure Trust and the IRB InvIT Fund. Virendra D. Mhaiskar, Chairman and Managing Director of IRB Infrastructure Developers, described the transaction as “a remarkable feat” that will benefit the InvITs and pave the way for sustainable growth.

Impact on Future Growth and Portfolio Strengthening

The proceeds from this transaction are expected to enable IRB Infrastructure Developers and its Trust to fund future infrastructure opportunities worth nearly twice the value of the assets being transferred.

Additionally, the acquisition of these high-revenue BOT highway assets is set to strengthen the IRB InvIT Fund’s portfolio and increase its weighted average life, supporting long-term revenue stability.
