NHAI identifies 5k kms of roads for Bharatmala Phase-II Project

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified roads of length 5,000 kilometres to be built under the Bharatmala Phase-II project. Around 65,000 kms of national highways are to be constructed under the Bharatmala project in two phases. Under phase-I, 34,800 kms of national highways will be built by 2022, out of which, over half have been awarded. The government is now preparing detailed project reports (DPRs) for projects to be built under the second phase. The government will focus on expressways and access-control highways in Phase-II. Award of the Bharatmala Phase-I is expected to complete by fiscal 2023. NHAI is also building a land bank to see that projects are not hit by the hurdle of land acquisition.
