In total, it spent Rs 207.67 billion in constructing 3,595 km of border roads during the period, including areas along the frontiers with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt told parliament that Rs 42.42 billion was spent to construct 1,336.09 km of road along the border with Pakistan, while an expenditure of Rs 8.82 billion was incurred to build 151.15 km road along the frontier with Myanmar in the last five years.

There has been a renewed focus on developing infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China following the eastern Ladakh standoff in May 2020 following a violent clash in the Pangong lake areas. Both sides gradually enhanced their deployment by rushing in tens of thousands of soldiers as well as heavy weaponry.

Each side currently has around 50,000 to 60,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control in the sector.
