L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited (L&T IDPL) is a pioneer of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model of development in India, which involves the development of infrastructure projects by private-sector players in partnership with the Central and State Governments. Since its inception in 2001, the entity has completed landmark infrastructure projects across key sectors like roads, bridges, transmission lines, ports, airports, water supply, renewable energy, and urban infrastructure. It is one of India’s largest road developers, as measured by lane kilometres under concession agreements signed with Union and State Government authorities.
Currently, L&T IDPL has 10 operational road assets and the Kudgi Transmission Project in its portfolio. In addition, it continues to manage the 5 operational road assets transferred to Indinfravit Trust, an InvIT that L&TIDPL sponsored and launched in May 2018 as the first privately placed InvIT in India, with 77% holding from international pension funds and insurance investors. The projects connect some of the most economically significant regions of the country and serve 450,000 road users every day. The company operates a state of the art toll system architecture and process almost 80% of transactions electronically (under the FASTag program of NHAI/MORTH).
L&TIDPL has successfully monetised and exited from minority investments in few road projects, large Ports, Water treatment Plants, Metro, Airport, etc. The company has also seen the full cycle in the life of an Infrastructure asset by completing the Concession period in few road projects and then transferring them back to Authority.
