What Is Driving IRB Infra’s 11% Toll Collection Growth in September 2025?
About IRB Infrastructure’s September Performance
IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd, India’s leading highway developer and toll operator, reported a solid ₹557 crore in gross toll collections for September 2025, marking an 11% year-on-year (YoY) increase compared to ₹502 crore during the same month last year. The improvement highlights sustained recovery in vehicular movement and corridor utilization across the company’s operational projects.
The uptick reflects higher commercial traffic on key routes, improving logistics movement, and consistent economic activity across industrial corridors. Analysts also attribute part of the growth to moderate inflation-linked toll rate revisions and better compliance through electronic toll collection systems.

Understanding the Growth Trend
IRB Infra’s consistent double-digit growth in toll revenue underscores the long-term viability of its Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) assets. With traffic normalizing post-pandemic and strong freight demand from industrial regions like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, the company has maintained robust cash flows.
The 11% YoY growth marks the fifth consecutive month of expansion, reflecting both network resilience and improved asset performance. The company’s integrated model combining EPC, O&M, and tolling continues to provide a stable annuity-like revenue stream, enhancing investor confidence.

Industry Outlook
India’s tolling sector continues to benefit from policy support and expanding road infrastructure under the Bharatmala Pariyojana framework. With several new stretches transitioning to operational phases and increased digitalization, toll revenues across the sector are expected to remain buoyant through FY26.
IRB’s focus on asset monetization through Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and diversification into BOT and HAM projects positions it well to capitalize on India’s growing highway network and commercial transport demand.
Investor Takeaway
IRB Infra’s 11% growth in toll collection underscores stable operational performance and long-term revenue visibility. The company’s asset-heavy model continues to offer steady cash flows, supported by inflation-linked toll hikes and consistent traffic growth across major corridors.
