India is set to undergo a colossal transformation in its road infrastructure, with ambitious plans to construct a staggering 2 lakh km of National Highways by 2037. This visionary roadmap, accompanied by a remarkable tenfold increase in the length of high-speed roads, reflects the government's commitment to revolutionise the country's transportation networks and enhance connectivity.

The expansive plan not only addresses the growing need for a well-connected and efficient road network but also emphasises the focus on high-speed roads.

As the nation progresses towards achieving this monumental feat, the initiative aligns with the broader vision of fostering sustainable development, boosting economic growth, and improving the overall accessibility and connectivity for citizens across the country. The plans underscore India's commitment to creating a modern and efficient road network that can meet the demands of a rapidly evolving and dynamic society.
