NHAI Aims to Reduce Debt Below ₹2 Lakh Crore by March 2026

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) wants to lower its debt to less than ₹2 lakh crore by the end of March 2026.

NHAI's debt was very high at ₹3.5 lakh crore in 2021-22, but it has been decreasing.

As of December 31, 2025, the debt is ₹2,35,947 crore.

NHAI has not borrowed money since 2023 and has already paid back ₹86,000 crore in loans, including ₹50,000 crore from a special fund.

By negotiating with banks, NHAI has also saved ₹3,500 crore in interest.

The goal is to have less debt to spend money more wisely in the future.
