The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has set up dedicated units to focus on the maintenance and safety of national highways. This move aims to ensure the regular upkeep of roads, addressing common issues such as potholes, damaged signage, and overall road quality. By prioritising maintenance, NHAI seeks to enhance driving safety and reduce the incidence of accidents on the highways.

These specialised units will be responsible for the systematic inspection and timely repair of highways, ensuring that road conditions are consistently optimal for travellers. The initiative reflects NHAI's commitment to improving India's road infrastructure and providing a safer, more reliable travel experience.

The creation of these units is part of a broader strategy by NHAI to enhance the quality and safety of the national highway network. By maintaining high standards of road quality, NHAI aims to not only improve travel conditions but also to support economic growth by facilitating smoother transportation of goods and people across the country.

In addition to routine maintenance, these units will also be tasked with implementing advanced technologies and best practices in highway management. This includes using modern equipment for road repairs and employing data-driven methods to identify and prioritise areas that need attention.

Overall, the establishment of these maintenance units represents a significant step forward in NHAI's efforts to maintain and upgrade India's national highways, ensuring they remain safe and efficient for all users.
