SBI seeks senior creditor status for early repayment rights on investments in NHAI’s InvIT amid road asset monetisation push.

• SBI raised concerns as InvIT unitholders currently hold repayment priority; it lacks bankruptcy protection under Indian laws.
• NHAI aims to raise ₹200 billion via InvITs; SBI is already exposed to the road sector via major unsecured loans.
• InvITs manage ₹7 trillion in assets; SBI wants protection as NHAI monetises highways by transferring toll-backed ownership.
