Toll rate cut could see PLUS losing RM500m


Key highway: The NSE remains PLUS’ key highway in terms of revenue contribution, generating around two-thirds of total toll revenue of RM2.9bil for the nine months of 2019.

The rating agency said in a statement yesterday that its assessment indicates no pressure on PLUS’ debt-servicing ability in the immediate term (assuming all else remains equal).
