Road Construction Boom
The Economic Survey revealed a substantial accomplishment in the fiscal year 2026, where the country saw the development of more than 5,000 kilometers
of high-speed corridors. This achievement underscores the government's strong emphasis on infrastructure expansion. Furthermore, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) had been constructing national highways at an approximate rate of 18 kilometers each day until December, reaching half of its target for FY26. This data underscores the government's ongoing efforts to improve India's road network, which is vital for economic growth and easier mobility across the country. These infrastructure projects aim to enhance connectivity, boost trade, and create opportunities across various sectors, demonstrating the government's commitment to improving the country's development through strategic investments.
Highways Per Day
Until December, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) managed to build approximately 18 kilometers of national highways per day. This was a critical step towards reaching the overall goal for the fiscal year 2026, where the construction pace managed to achieve about half of the projected targets. This suggests a dedicated approach to enhancing India's road network and expanding its infrastructure. The construction of national highways is essential to promoting economic activity, enhancing transportation efficiency, and promoting connectivity between cities and towns. It also plays a key role in the country's overall development strategy. The government's dedication to improving the road infrastructure shows its desire to support economic growth and boost the standard of living for its citizens.
