Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari announced that projects worth Rs 20,000 crore have been sanctioned for Gujarat under the National Highways Authority of India. These investments are aimed at boosting road connectivity, improving logistic efficiency, and supporting the state’s economic growth. Gadkari highlighted that the focus remains on creating modern transport infrastructure that enhances mobility and reduces travel time across key routes.
According to the minister, several highway and expressway works are currently underway, with emphasis on accelerating construction in industrial corridors, port-linked routes, and high-density traffic zones. The sanctioned projects are expected to play a vital role in strengthening trade and transport networks across the state.
The Union government has reiterated its commitment to developing high-speed corridors, widening existing highways, and creating advanced road networks to support Gujarat’s role as a major industrial hub. The upcoming infrastructure initiatives are likely to improve connectivity for businesses, boost tourism, and contribute to regional development.
