India has one of the largest road network across the globe. About 90% of India’s population makes use of road networks to commute and 64.5% of all goods are transported via road in the country. It doesn’t end up to this; India is also witnessing additional road infrastructure development, which comprises of National Highways, Expressways in India, State Highways, Major District Roads, Other District Roads, and Village Roads.

According to research, the Government aims to boost corporate investment in the roads sector, and presenting business-friendly strategies, which will stabilize profitability with effective project execution. Moreover, by 2025, the Construction market in India is anticipated to emerge as third largest globally; construction output is estimated to grow on average by 7.1% every year.100% FDI under the automatic route is allowed in finished projects for operations and business constructions.
Development of Roads and Highways is one of the priority areas for the government. The vision to build an extraordinary road infrastructure in India is already bearing fruit with a record of constructing around 40 km Expressways and highways on a daily basis. The government’s mission is to increase the length of highways in India up to 200,000 km, and to build at least 90,000 km of highway network in its five year tenure.
