With these three awards, Adani's Road Portfolio will have 13 projects with more than 5,000 lane kms and asset value exceeding Rs 35,000 crore spread over 9 states in India i.e. Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Gujarat, West Bengal, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh, the company said.
The portfolio will have mix of HAM (Hybrid Annuity Mode), TOT (Toll-Operate-Transfer) and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) type assets, it added.
AEL, in its FY21 annual report, said that the Company will leverage its pan-India projects management capability to enhance value for its road, metro & rail infrastructure development business. The Company will seek mergers and acquisitions that enhance access to superior assets that maximise cash flows.
"Around 65,000 km of national highways are to be constructed under the Bharatmala Pariyojana. Under its first phase, the National Highways Authority of India will build 34,800 km of highways by 2022.

NHAI is seeking to mobilise around Rs 265,000 crore in FY22 and FY23 to fund additional road building projects," AEL said in annual report.
