Your next national highway toll might not go to the government! It could be going to a Canadian pension fund. Or a sovereign wealth fund in Singapore. Or even to you, if you invest in a new product that lets everyday folks own a slice of India’s highways. That’s because NHAI, the agency behind India’s road network, is trying something different. It’s low on funds, can’t borrow anymore, and still has thousands of kilometers of roads to build. So instead of taking on more debt, it’s started leasing out toll rights and bundling highways into financial products called InvITs, essentially turning roads into investable assets. It’s clever. It’s brought in a ton of money. And it’s helped NHAI reduce its massive debt pile. But it also makes you wonder: are we just plugging a short-term funding gap by giving up long-term revenue? Because once the best highways are monetised, what comes next? We unpack the full story in today's Finshots: https://tinyurl.com/NHAI-monetisation-roads

*₹2,440 crores! That's how much just vanished from the books of five microfinance lenders.* And no, this isn’t about some sudden crisis in 2025. These are old loans, many dating back to the chaos of the pandemic that never really got repaid. So why are lenders choosing to deal with them now, nearly five years later? Well, turns out, this isn’t just an accounting move. There’s a mix of reasons: regulatory pressure from the RBI, old wounds from COVID still bleeding, and lenders wanting to walk into the new financial year with a clean slate. But here’s the surprising bit. Rural incomes are actually recovering now. In theory, this should be the best time to recover loans. And yet, they’re writing them off. So what’s really going on here?

*China just did something which is about to make your next electronics purchase expensive! 🚨* Most electronic devices as well as auto components use rare earth elements, and China is one of the largest exporters of them. These are super-strong magnets made from elements like neodymium and dysprosium — and they’re in short supply now! Why? Because China has tightened export rules for these rare earth minerals. While they’re not actually rare, extracting and refining them is expensive and messy. China figured this out decades ago and became the world’s go-to supplier. Now, with new export rules in place, the Indian auto industry is feeling the heat. If we can’t get enough of these magnets, it could slow down car production — and raise prices for all of us.

*The Indian government has collected Rs 2.69 lakh crore from the RBI! Here’s why—* Well, that’s because the RBI is required to share its surplus earnings with the Indian government. This is because the RBI is fully owned by the government. But from where did the RBI get this money? The thing is, RBI earns money from lending to other banks, holding government bonds, and managing foreign exchange reserves. And this year RBI made huge profits from foreign investments and interest on domestic securities. Then, a large chunk of the income came from the sale and smart revaluation of foreign exchange reserves. When the value of foreign bonds or currencies went up, the RBI made gains just by holding them. These are called mark-to-market gains, kind of like your investments rising in value even if you haven’t sold them. And when it did sell some of these assets, it locked in profits. These gains, from both rising values and actual sales, added a lot of money to the RBI’s account. So does RBI have any expenses though? Well, you can find out about them in today’s newsletter - https://tinyurl.com/RBI-Annual-Report-Decoded
