East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.

NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Chief Executive Officer: Hiroshi Hirose) has set up a representative office in India and has been collecting information. We also made a trial entry into the toll road operation business, carried out technical advisory work for local companies, and accumulated knowledge about the toll road operation business, aiming for full-scale entry.

Recently, we have established a consortium* with Mitsubishi Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Chief Executive Officer: Takehiko Kakiuchi) and Overseas Transportation and Urban Development Business Support Organization (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Chief Executive Officer: Takuma Hatano). Formed and jointly acquired a 20% stake in Indian toll road operator Cube Highways and Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. (“Cube Highways”), and reached a basic agreement to enter the toll road operator business in the country. In addition, Japan Expressway International Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Chief Executive Officer: Koji Kuroda), an affiliate of the Company, will also participate in this project.

Based on the technology for Expressway management and operation that we have cultivated over many years in Japan, we carry out advisory work to improve this project and increase added value, while contributing to the government's high-quality infrastructure exports. I will.
