Actis to acquire a portfolio of operational hybrid annuity model road assets in India

Actis is expanding its infrastructure footprint in India with the acquisition of operational Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) road projects from Patel Infrastructure Limited (PIL). This includes two completed assets and plans to acquire two more upon completion. These projects, awarded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), offer attractive, fixed, availability-based revenues with interest rate indexation. Actis aims to enhance India’s road infrastructure, promoting connectivity, economic growth, and sustainability by using recycled asphalt and installing solar PV on toll plazas and offices. This acquisition builds on Actis’ prior investments in Indian toll roads, reflecting its commitment to critical infrastructure in high-growth markets.
