The Assignment
The assignment involved assessing the physical condition of National Highway assets as part of the Toll Operate and Transfer (ToT) framework for highway monetisation.
Covering approximately 700 miles of highway network, the project required a comprehensive assessment of existing road and structural assets, long-term traffic demand, pavement condition and future investment requirements to support evaluation of the concession over its lifecycle.
The assessed highway assets represented a capital cost of approximately $871.9 million, with an estimated concession value of $671.1 million.
