The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has prepared a blueprint to invest a whopping sum of Rs. 35,000-cr for construction and development of 3,586 km of road in the north-eastern region, said Co-chairman, CII's North East Council, Abhijit Barooah, adding that the region was going through a significant transformation in terms of economic and industrial development. The macro economic outlook of the region is also on a growth trajectory and the fast implementation of infrastructure projects would not only spur economic development in the region, but would also be a major catalyst in realizing the Centre's 'Act East Policy'. A greater focus on development and management of infrastructure in the region is the need of the hour for bringing about significant economic transformation in the region, he added.
