IRB Infra Transfers Two Toll Roads for Rs 2,744 Crore
IRB Infrastructure Developers plans to sell two highway companies to an infrastructure investment trust.
The companies operate toll roads in Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
One road runs between Solapur and Yedeshi.
The other covers a section between Kishangarh, Udaipur and Ahmedabad.
The two companies are valued at Rs 2,744 crore based on their equity value.
The buyer will pay the full amount in cash.
Because both sides have the same sponsor, the deal is treated as a related-party transaction.
IRB says the transaction is being conducted on an arm’s length basis and could close by September 30, 2026.
IRB Infrastructure Developers agreed to transfer Solapur Yedeshi Tollway Limited and CG Tollway Limited to IRB InvIT Fund.
The transaction has an aggregate equity value of Rs 2,744 crore and will be paid entirely in cash.
The two assets operate toll concessions covering 98.7 km in Maharashtra and roughly 125 km in Rajasthan.
The deal is a related-party transaction because both parties share IRB Infrastructure Developers as sponsor; the company says it is arm’s length.
Closing is targeted for September 30, 2026, with a long-stop date of December 31, 2026, subject to possible extension.
