India likely to construct 5-8% more roads y/y in 2024/25 - ICRA
reut.rs/3Q6N9fj
Quick Glance: Govt likely to build 5-8% more roads by 2024-25, per ICRA report
- Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014, India built about 90,000 kilometres of national highway, almost double that constructed in the previous decade, according to government estimates.
- The increase in road investments from 510 billion rupees in 2013/14 to 2.4 trillion rupees ($28.72 billion) in 2022/23 demonstrates a significant growth.
- Road construction has accelerated since September, after a slow start last year due to heavy rains in parts of the country, with momentum likely to continue, ICRA said in a statement.
- The government this month delayed a proposed hike in road toll charges for about two months, offering temporary relief to millions of motorists, truckers, and commercial vehicle owners.
