India’s road infra to be similar to US by 2024: Gadkari

Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways has reportedly told the Rajya Sabha that by 2024, road infrastructure in India will be similar to that of the United States.

Before 2024, as many as 26 green express highways will be constructed which will bring down travel time considerably. Once the highways are in place, travel time from Delhi to Dehradun, Delhi to Haridwar, and Delhi to Jaipur would only take around two hours. While Delhi to Chandigarh will take 2.30 hrs, Delhi to Amritsar will be done in 4 hours and Delhi to Mumbai in 12 hours. On the fund availability, he reportedly said that NHAI can construct roads worth Rs 5 trillion every year.
