Centre to boost high-speed road network with Rs 11 trillion investment

In order to modernise infrastructure and reduce logistics costs, India intends to invest Rs 11 trillion ($125 billion) to increase its high-speed road network fivefold in ten years. In comparison to conventional highways, the nation will construct 17,000 km of access-controlled highways, which will enable drivers to travel at up to 120 km per hour and provide quicker, safer, and more effective connections.

Work on the remaining sections is anticipated to start in 2028 and be finished by 2033, with over 40 per cent of the proposed network already under construction and scheduled for completion before 2030.
