Centre eyes stiff road target in Five-year plan

To get at least 47 per cent investment from the private sector during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-17) period for the construction of highways, the Union Government is likely to set a stiff target for Road Transport and Highways Ministry.  This is 9 per cent more than what the sector has received during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. Out of the projected Rs 1.9 lakh crore investment from private players in the next five years, Rs 1.8 crore will be used in NHDP.Contact: The Union Government.Website: www.pib.nic.in
