Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has approved infrastructure development projects worth ₹3,330.40 crore, signaling a major boost to India’s road and transport sectors. These projects aim to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and promote regional economic growth.
The approved projects include the construction and upgrading of highways, bridges, and bypass roads across various states. These developments are expected to improve road safety and facilitate smoother movement of goods and people. A significant portion of the investment will focus on developing rural and semi-urban areas, creating better access to markets and services for underserved regions.
Gadkari emphasized that these initiatives are aligned with the government’s commitment to improving India’s infrastructure under the “Bharatmala Pariyojana” and other key programs. The projects are also expected to generate substantial employment opportunities during construction and beyond, boosting local economies.
The minister highlighted the government’s vision of sustainable infrastructure development, incorporating modern technology and eco-friendly practices in road construction. With a growing emphasis on infrastructure as a driver of economic growth, these investments are expected to strengthen India’s position as a global economic player.
These projects reaffirm the government’s focus on building world-class infrastructure to support the nation’s long-term development goals.
