NH Construction Hits 34 km per Day in 2023-24
National highways saw
robust growth with 12,300 km built, averaging 34 km/day, second only to 2020-21's
36.5 km/day. NHAI's record-breaking construction of 6,644 km exceeded targets,
with capital expenditure surpassing Rs 2 crore. The trend is expected to
continue for a decade. A proposal for a Corridor Management Unit to manage the
expanding highway network, projected to reach 89,900 km by 2037 and 1.27 lakh
km by 2047, emphasizes the need for skilled manpower.
