Anantam Highways Trust (ANANTAM)

Anantam Highways Trust is an Indian infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) established in July 2024, specifically designed to invest in and operate road infrastructure assets. The trust’s portfolio encompasses seven completed highway projects, totaling 271.65 kilometers (over 1,000 lane kilometers), spread across five Indian states and one union territory. Its assets benefit from long-term concession agreements with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), securing predictable annuity revenues and stable operational cash flows over average residual concession terms of 12 to 13 years. Sponsored by Alpha Alternatives Fund Advisors LLP—a multi-strategy asset management firm—the Trust leverages substantial expertise in infrastructure, project management, and capital markets. Operations and maintenance for the highway assets are managed by Dilip Buildcon Limited, ensuring continuity and access to proven industry practices. Anantam Highways Trust plays a vital role in India’s infrastructure sector by channeling institutional and retail investment into essential, revenue-generating transport networks. Its structure enables risk diversification, long-term portfolio stability, and transparency, reflecting both the sector’s strong fundamentals and supportive government policies for private infrastructure investment.
