IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd and IRB Infrastructure Trust have jointly announced a significant milestone, reporting an approximate 10% year-on-year growth in toll revenue for the month of July 2025. This consistent upward trajectory highlights the robust performance of India’s largest integrated private toll-road and highway infrastructure developer and operator, reaffirming investor confidence and indicating strong economic activity across key corridors of the country.
For July 2025, the combined toll revenue collected by IRB Infra and IRB Infrastructure Trust stood at approximately ₹431 crore, compared to ₹392 crore in July 2024. This growth in toll revenue, despite challenges such as monsoon-related disruptions and fluctuating fuel prices, reflects the company’s strategic asset positioning and the sustained momentum in vehicular movement across its extensive network of highway projects.
IRB Infra operates and manages a diversified portfolio of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), and Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT) projects. The company’s performance is driven by its strong presence in high-traffic corridors, such as the Golden Quadrilateral, the North-South and East-West corridors, and other major national highway stretches. The 10% Y-o-Y toll growth also signals a positive trend in commercial and passenger vehicular traffic, suggesting broader economic resilience and increased regional connectivity.
The toll revenue growth is particularly notable as it reflects the steady ramp-up in traffic volumes on both existing and newly commissioned projects. Several assets under IRB’s and the Trust’s portfolio have seen a healthy uptick in usage, including the Vadodara–Kim Expressway, Chittorgarh–Kota Highway, and the Tumkur–Chitradurga stretch, among others. These projects are strategically located and serve as vital arteries for trade and passenger movement, contributing meaningfully to the revenue inflow.
According to IRB’s management, the 10% growth demonstrates the effectiveness of their long-term strategy focused on asset quality, operational efficiency, and digital tolling initiatives such as FASTag, which has enhanced toll collection accuracy and transparency. The company continues to invest in intelligent transport systems, maintenance, and highway user safety, ensuring a superior travel experience that encourages consistent usage.
IRB Infrastructure Trust, an InvIT (Infrastructure Investment Trust) sponsored by IRB Infra, has also played a key role in augmenting toll revenue streams. With 12 operational projects under its belt, the Trust benefits from predictable cash flows and long-term concessions, offering investors stability while contributing to the broader infrastructure financing ecosystem. The Trust’s robust toll collection performance indicates sustained demand for road infrastructure and supports its reputation as a reliable yield-generating investment platform.
This growth also comes at a time when the Indian government is accelerating infrastructure development under the Bharatmala and Gati Shakti programs. With increased government focus on logistics efficiency and highway expansion, players like IRB are poised to capitalize on the surge in infrastructure opportunities. The uptick in toll revenues is seen as a strong indicator of macroeconomic activity, particularly in freight movement, which has shown resilience and expansion despite global uncertainties.
In conclusion, the 10% year-on-year toll revenue growth for July 2025 marks yet another successful chapter in IRB Infrastructure’s journey. It underscores the company’s ability to sustain revenue performance amidst external pressures and reinforces its position as a key contributor to India’s transportation and infrastructure development. With a pipeline of upcoming projects, focus on digitalization, and a solid operational track record, IRB Infra and IRB Infrastructure Trust are well-positioned to deliver continued growth and value to stakeholders in the coming quarters.
