Highway developers — challengers — Business MegaBrands 2026–27

Challenger highway developers are growing Indian road builders that execute national highway, expressway, state road and bridge projects, usually under EPC and hybrid annuity contracts, often alongside work in railways, water or urban infrastructure. These firms widen the pool of bidders for public road projects. That competition helps authorities award more contracts and keeps construction capacity spread across regions.
