India's infrastructure sector receives major boost as Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launches the NHAI-backed Raajmarg Infra Investment Trust on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The maiden public issue achieved nearly 14 times oversubscription, signaling strong investor confidence in highway infrastructure monetization. Gadkari announced plans to monetise 1,500 kilometres of highways over the next three years through the InvIT structure. This initiative enables retail investors to directly participate in India's infrastructure growth while supporting the government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision. The listing comes as domestic markets rally with the Sensex gaining over 1,500 points and Nifty 50 rising 1.62 percent, with broad-based gains across auto, banking, IT, and metal sectors reflecting positive investor sentiment toward infrastructure-linked opportunities.
