                                                             revenue growth projections upwards to 7-8% for

                                                             2024, driven by the addition of two new toll gates
                                                             expected to be operational by November. The

                                                             company’s decision to expand its tolling network
                                                             comes as part of a broader strategy to boost
                                                             revenues and enhance its market presence.


                                                             In the first half of 2024, Salik reported a strong

                                                             million, marking a 9.2% increase from the previous

                                                             year. This robust growth is attributed to the efficient
                                                             management of existing toll gates and the

                                                             The company’s latest expansion initiative includes

                                                             the installation of toll gates in strategically important
                                                             locations within Dubai, aimed at managing traffic
                                                             flow and increasing revenue streams. These new

        gates are expected to contribute significantly to Salik’s financial performance in the latter half of the
        year.
