Business Model
The Trust generates revenue through Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) concession agreements with NHAI, where the concessioning authority shares project costs during construction and provides fixed annuity payments, interest on reducing balance of completion cost, and O&M payments (all linked to inflation) during operations. This model eliminates traffic volume risk by providing predetermined fixed annuities to concessionaires while NHAI assumes traffic risk.
