Global growth is seen stable at 3.9%over the current and next fiscal almost unchanged from 3.6% in FY18.

Indian economy is experiencing recovery from the e3 ects of demonetization andimplementation of the Goods and Services Tax. The economy growth is likely to be driven bystrong consumption story particularly in rural India improvement in domestic demand andgaining traction in infrastructure spending.

The Infrastructure sector is a key driver of the Indian economy. A higher industrialgrowth supported by well-connected infrastructure facility is vital to maintain themomentum of higher sustainable economic growth. The Government is committed to invest moreon qualitative infrastructure with an aim to make India an advanced inclusive and a justeconomy. During last few years there has been a significant push from the Government byproviding financial support and taking initiatives to expedite implementation to give aboost to the sector.

Among the core infrastructure segments the Roads and Highways sector has been a keygovernment priority with the sector receiving strong budgetary support over the years.NHAI under Bharatmala Pariyojana plans to spend INR 6.92 tn on 83677 kilometers of roadconstruction by 2022 to boost economic growth and employment. The Bharatmala Pariyojanahas six important components — development of economic corridors development ofinter-corridor and feeder routes improvement of the efficiency of existing NationalCorridors (Golden Quadrilateral and the North-South & East-West corridors)development of coastal and port connectivity roads development of border andinternational connectivity roads and development of Greenfield expressways.

Economic growth increasing government thrust preference of road in freight trafficspurt in private participation and surge in passenger traffic and vehicle densitycontinues to be the key growth drivers for increased investments in the Roads and Highwayssector. Growing domestic trade flows have led to a rise in commercial vehicles and freightmovement; supported by rise in trend of commercial vehicles from 567000 in 2010 to594550 in 2018 at a CAGR of 5.87%. Road's traffic share of the total traffic in Indiahas grown from 13.8% to 65% in freight traffic and from 32% to 90% in passenger trafficover 1951–2017. Simultaneously there has been also a constant surge in sale ofPassenger as well as Commercial vehicle. Domestic sales of passenger vehicles increased ata CAGR of 4.26% during FY12-18 and reached 3.29 million during FY18 from 2.67 million inFY13. Domestic sales of commercial vehicles increased at a CAGR of 1.6% FY12-18 to 856453units in FY18.

Government of India has undertaken major initiatives to upgrade and strengthen highwaysand expressways in the country including enabling policy measures to facilitate privateinvestments in this sector. Some of the key initiatives include Bharatmala and NationalHighway Development Program. In addition to Highway Development focus remains onefficient operations & network management for improving logistics efficiency whichshall give rise to new investment opportunities.

Some of the initiatives and market trends that continue to drive the sector arehighlighted below:

• Increasing pace of road awards: The Goverment of India is planning to expand theNational Highway network to over 200000 km and has given a massive push to infrastructureby allocating about USD 100 bn for infrastructure in the Union

Budget 2018-19. It also plans to invest USD 22.4 bn towards road infrastructure inNorth-East region during 2018-2020. The market for roads and highways is projected toexhibit a CAGR of 36.16% during 2016-2025 on account of growing government initiatives toimprove transportation infrastructure in the country. Almost half of the 1531 PPPprojects awarded in India until March 2018 were related to roads.

• Newer modes of project awards: The Government has successfully rolled out morethan 60 projects worth more than USD 10 billion based on the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM).HAM has balanced risk appropriately between private and public partners & boosted PPPactivity in the sector. Asset recycling through the Toll-Operate-Transfer (ToT) Model hasbeen taken up by NHAI. The first bundle of 9 highways with an aggregate length of about680 km was monetised successfully for an investment of USD 1.45 billion.

• Fiscal Incentives: 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through automatic routeallowed subject to applicable laws and regulation. Right of Way (ROW) for project landmade available to concessionaires free from all encumbrances. 100% tax exemption for 5years and 30% relief for next 5 years which may be availed of in 20 years.

• Increasing participation of Private Equity funds: Private Equity has contributedto road projects in the past. Going ahead Private Equity investment can further pick upfollowing the recent announcements of 100% exit policy for debt-stressed operators fortoll roads.

• Operate Maintain Transfer (OMT): Operate Maintain Transfer (OMT) models havealso been adopted by a few large Indian states where road development authorities' statehave invited bids / awarded State Highway stretches to be operated and maintained on OMTbasis.

• ETC lane: The decision of the Ministry of Roads Transport and Highways to rollout ETC programme in the country under the brand name ‘FASTag' has resulted ingreater user convenience through automation. Electronic Toll Collection is beingencouraged to minimize toll collection time and reduce pilferage in toll collection onNHs. Enabling facilities for ETC is being put proactively to enable seamless movement ofvehicles on the National Highways to promote digital transformation and cash less economy.

II. OPPORTUNITIES

Over the past few years the Roads and Highways sector has opened up plethora ofopportunities for the companies engaged in Highway construction and development. TheGovernment under Bharatmala Pariyojana plans to build 83677 km of road by 2022 with atotal estimated investment at INR 6.92 tn. The project will be implemented jointly byNHAI MoRTH NHIDCL and state PWD for faster execution of the project.

NHAI in FY18 awarded 150 road projects for constructing about 7400 kilometers ofhighways worth Rs 1.22 Lakhs crore. During

FY18 National Highways of 9829 Kms were constructed with a construction record of 28Km per day. This represents ~20% growth over the last year when 8231 km wereconstructed.

NHAI Road Awards

Over the next 5 years the investment in National Highways awards will majorly be underEPC and HAM a breakaway from past trends. HAM has now gathered momentum and is likely toimprove private participation in the sector. The model has been successful in bringing newset of players to the private space.

NHAI is monetizing public funded National Highway (NH) projects which are operationaland are generating toll revenues for at least two years after the Commercial OperationsDate (COD) through the Toll Operate Transfer (TOT) Model. Around 75 operational NHprojects completed under public funding have been preliminarily identified for potentialmonetization using the TOT Model.

Monetization of public funded NH roads is expected to create a framework for attractinglong term institutional investment on the strength of future toll receivables. Marketfeedback indicates that certain institutional investors from outside the country have along term investment appetite and are keen to participate in operational highway projectswith stable toll revenue outlook. These investors generally hesitate in takingconstruction risk but are willing to look at de-risked Brownfield road assets.

• Traffic and Revenue Growth

Despite impact of GST implementation in July 2017 which affected the movement of goodssubstantially and therefore affected the tolling adversely the Average Daily Revenue(ADR) across all the operational projects increased by 22% to Rs. 163 Lakhs in FinancialYear 2017–18 from Rs. 134 Lakhs in Financial Year 2016–17. The toll revenue isexpected to improve further and stabilize with increased economic activity across the highgrowth industrial corridors along the project stretch.

o Ghaziabad Aligarh Expressway Private Limited: The project continues to register aimpressive toll revenue growth as the Average Daily Revenue increased from Rs. 43 Lakhs inFY 2016–17 to Rs. 53 Lakhs in FY 2017–18. Major increase in Revenue was onaccount of provisional COD of additional 19 km stretch which was obtained on 25thNovember 2016 for tolling 123 km of Highway stretch. The tolling on 104 km of GhaziabadAligarh Expressway commenced in June 2015 and has since been reporting steady toll revenuegrowth. The toll revenue is expected to improve further by next financial year due toincreased economic activity in the corridor.

o Mahakaleshwar Tollways Private Limited: This year post installation of new upgradedToll Management System (TMS) the project has shown reasonable growth in expemptioncontrol and improved revenue collection. In FY 2017-18 the Average Daily Revenue hasgrown by 13% to Rs. 7.19 Lacs from Rs. 6.35 Lacs per day in FY 2016-17. However since thetolling was suspended by Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Limited (MPRDC) twicein FY 2016-17 on account of Ujjain Simhastha & Demonitization amounting to a tollloss for 83.5 days the impact on total revenue was much higher: 27.19 Cr in FY 2017-18 asagainst 17.87 Cr in FY 2016-17. Although MPRDC has agreed to compensate the revenue lossby way of increase in concession period by equivalent number of days the company isaggressively pursuing the claim for this revenue loss in cash compensation.

o Shree Jagannath Expressways Private Limited: The provisional COD for the projectobtained on January 12 2017 resulted in substantial increase in Average Daily Revenue(ADR) from Rs. 28 Lakhs in FY 2016-17 to Rs. 41 Lakhs in FY 2017-18. In the coming yearsit is expected that revenue shall increase further on account of major boost in economyresulting from expected growth of mining industry in the hinterland.

o Kurukshetra Expressway Private Limited: The project has undergone a transformationfollowing temporary interruptions in services due to external forces. During the yearunder review the project displayed remarkable improvement in exemption control afterinstallation of state-of-the-art Toll Management Services (TMS).

VI. FUTURE OUTLOOK

India has a massive infrastructure investment requirement to the tune of USD 4.54trillion by 2040 and infrastructure creation of such a gigantic scale does require a widerange of resources expertise and skills together with funding either from public andprivate sources. Considering the limited scope to maneuver public spending of such amassive scale and size the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) assumes significance bothfor attracting investment in infrastructure and leverage on the asset management skill setof the private sector. As PPP model is aimed at leveraging on the private capital forinfrastructure development and making the best use of the asset management skill set ofthe infrastructure companies we see ourselves as strong enabler for PPP projects whileacting as a bridge between the Public Asset and Project Authority. We leverage on ourstrong asset management skill set access to capital and rich pool of contractors and ourexpertise in financial engineering to implement projects.

Over the past few years there has been a lot of proactive measures being taken up forreviving the infrastructure sector and thankfully Roads and Highways sector has so farbeen the biggest beneficiary of Government's thrust on infrastructure. Economic growthpreference of road in freight traffic spurt in private participation and surge inpassenger traffic and vehicle density are key growth drivers for infrastructureinvestments. Greater connectivity between different cities towns and villages has led toincreased road traffic over the years.

The Government has given a massive push to infrastructure by allocating Rs 5.97 Lakhscrore for infrastructure in the Union Budget 2018-19. For the Road sector the Governmentprovided an outlay of Rs 1.21 Lakhs crore. The rise in investments reforms and higherbudgetary support is expected to drive growth in roads and highways sector in India. TheGovernment of India has succeeded in providing road connectivity to 85% of the 178184eligible rural habitations in the country under the scheme. All villages in the countryare expected to be connected through a road network by 2019 as against 2022 previouslyunder the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). Total length of roads constructedunder PMGSY in FY18 was 47447 km. Under the Union Budget 2018-19 Government of Indiaallocated an investment of Rs 19000 crore for PMGSY and will spend around Rs 1 Lakhscrore during FY18-20 to build roads in the country under PMGSY.

NHAI has started the tendering process for projects worth ~Rs 1tn. Out of this HAMaccounts for ~60% of the tender value with EPC accounting for the rest. Currently BOTprojects are not being actively tendered by NHAI.

The Government of India is quite empathetic to the concerns of the industry and hasshown intent to resolve the crisis through a series of reform measures the actual actionon the ground needs to be effective enough to tackle the core issues related to landacquisition time bound resolution of disputes faster settlement of claims and localadministrative support to streamline on-ground execution mechanism.
