About this bond
National Highways Infra Trust is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 7.4%. It pays a coupon of 7.9% and matures on 25 Oct 2035, a remaining tenure of about 9.0 yr. It is rated AAA, the highest credit-safety grade. Groww lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹320.
Its 7.4% yield is on the conservative side, toward the lower end at 332nd of 334 Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 3.10 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. It yields only about 0.85 points over a comparable SBI fixed deposit (6.55%), so weigh the extra credit risk carefully. Its long 9.0 yr horizon locks in today's yield well into the future - useful if rates fall, a drag if they rise. Paired with its highest safety (AAA) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.

Bond details
What you keep after tax
Interest on a listed corporate bond is added to your income and taxed at your slab, so the 7.4% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 9.0 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 7.40% | ₹1,90,187 |
| 5% slab | 7.03% | ₹1,84,368 |
| 20% slab | 5.92% | ₹1,67,848 |
| 30% slab | 5.18% | ₹1,57,579 |
At a 7.9% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹7,900 of interest a year, under the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so no TDS is withheld.
Slab rates only - surcharge and cess are not included, and the figures assume you hold to maturity. Sold on the exchange after 12 months instead, the gain is taxed as long-term capital gains at 12.5%. Not tax advice.
Against a fixed deposit, in rupees
Same ₹1,00,000, same 9.0 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.55%.
Bond figure compounds the yield annually; the FD compounds quarterly, as a cumulative bank FD does. Both are pre-tax and assume the bond is held to maturity and the issuer pays in full - the AAA credit risk is the reason for the gap.
