The company said the extension reaffirms the government’s focus on enhancing road infrastructure that links villages with growth centres and key services, helping improve everyday mobility, strengthen local economies, and support inclusive development.

According to JCB India, improved rural road connectivity plays a crucial role in enabling quicker access to hospitals and specialised medical care, ensuring smoother transportation of agricultural produce, and providing easier access to education and employment hubs. The company noted that better roads can reduce delays and losses for farmers and ensure timely support for rural households in emergencies.

JCB India said continued investment in rural infrastructure will create lasting social and economic impact by empowering communities, improving supply chains, and laying the foundation for balanced development across the country.

Commenting on the development, Deepak Shetty, CEO and Managing Director, JCB India, said, “Rural roads shape daily outcomes. They decide how quickly help arrives in an emergency and how livelihoods take root Programmes like PMGSY have a tangible impact on everyday life in rural India.”

He added that improved road infrastructure also strengthens connections between rural populations and urban services, helping reduce inefficiencies such as losses in perishable goods and supporting more stable economic opportunities in underserved regions.

“As India advances towards its Viksit Bharat vision, JCB welcomes the extension of PMGSY-III and stands firmly with the Government in strengthening last-mile connectivity to drive inclusive and sustainable growth,” Shetty said.

PMGSY-III is aimed at improving rural road networks and enhancing connectivity to promote economic development and social progress in remote regions.
