40 km/day goal for highway building is set for FY23

Nitin Gadkari, the minister of roads and highways, has set a challenging goal for the current fiscal year: building new national highways at a record rate of 40 km/day. In 2020–21, a record 37 km per day were achieved; in the previous fiscal year, that number was only 29 km/day. The minister assured Surya Sarathi Ray that despite ongoing issues, such as land acquisition, efforts are being made to meet the most recent goal. Additionally, he stated that road asset monetisation would be undertaken depending on the availability of funding. edited snippets.
