According to Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, highway construction in the country reached a new high of 37 km per day in the fiscal year 2020-21.

According to Gadkari, the cumulative cost of ongoing project works has increased by 54% at the end of FY21, compared to FY20 (as of 31 March).

Earlier, Gadkari, while addressing an India-US partnership vision summit, said that the government has set a road construction target worth Rs 15 lakh crore for the next two years.

Gadkari has also informed that India was set to achieve the target of 40 km per day of highway construction in the current financial year.

The minister had said that the government is permitting 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the road sector.
