- IRB has paid four small interim dividends in the past year.
IRB Toll Revenue in September 2026
The company announced the figure in a press release dated October 8, 2026, describing approximately 24% year-on-year growth to ₹773 crore. Zee Business listed IRB among the stocks in focus on October 9 on the back of the update.
Here's how September 2026 compares with some earlier monthly numbers reported by Business Standard:
| Month | Toll revenue | Year-on-year growth |
|---|---|---|
| August 2025 | ₹563 crore | 12% |
| September 2025 | ₹622 crore | – |
| October 2025 | ₹682 crore | 9% |
| September 2026 | ₹773 crore | about 24% |
A 24% jump stands out against the single-digit to low-teens growth IRB was reporting a year ago. For the full financial year 2024-25, IRB's toll revenue was ₹6,360 crore, up 23%, as per Business Standard.
What Drives IRB's Toll Revenue?
Toll income grows in three ways, and it helps to know which one is doing the work:
- Traffic growth: More vehicles on the road, which tracks economic activity, freight movement and festive travel.
- Annual toll rate revisions: Tolls on most national highways are revised each year, usually linked to inflation.
- New projects: Fresh highways starting toll collection add revenue that wasn't there a year ago.
A big chunk of the September jump comes from the third factor, as roads added to the portfolio over the past year begin collecting. That matters because new-project growth doesn't repeat in the same way once those assets are in the base. Like-for-like growth on older roads is usually slower.
The 1:1 Bonus and Why Old Prices Look Odd
IRB issued bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio, with an ex-date of March 30, 2026, according to NSE data. Every shareholder got one extra share for each share held, and the share price roughly halved. If you see a 52-week high of around ₹46 in unadjusted data, that's a pre-bonus figure. Adjusted for the bonus, the 52-week high is ₹23.95.
