Government Focuses on Building Wider Highways & Expressways

With a focus on reducing logistics costs, the government aims to increase the length of four-lane and above highways to 75,000 km by 2030, while converting all national highways to at least two-laned highways. This rapid pace of highway construction is supported by increased budgetary allocations, rising from ₹31,130 crore in 2013-14 to ₹2.8 lakh crore for 2024-25, along with a surge in overall investment in the sector.
