Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari highlighted significant progress in infrastructure development, stating that key environmental, railway, and land acquisition clearances have been streamlined, allowing projects to move faster. He emphasised that improved coordination has reduced delays and risks, accelerating highway construction across the country. Gadkari also stressed the importance of decentralizing wealth through public participation in investments, including infrastructure bonds, to benefit small investors and retirees.
