Under the able guidance and leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for the first time in the history of India so much emphasis has been laid on infrastructure development.

With every passing year the increased Public investment on infrastructure in budget is ample proof of this. In last 10 years of the Modi government nation has witnessed a major shift towards infrastructure build up. These changes are quite visible and not only in statistics. The Modi government’s main development focus has been on the expansion of infrastructural facilities like roads, highways, rail, other logistics, electricity, airports, ports etc and it will further continue to meet excellence.

“The Modi Government has allocated Rs. 11,11,111 crores for capital expenditure this year, which is 3.4 percent of our GDP. Since 2014, 500% increase in road transport and highways has been made in budget allocation. The pace of Highway construction was 37 km/day in 2020-21. The National Highway (NH) network expansion from 91,287 km in 2014 has reached up to 1,46,145 km by 2023. The 2.5 fold of increase in the length of  4-lane National Highway  from 18,387 km in 2014 to 46,179 km by November 2023 is a testimony to the Modi government’s commitment towards infrastructure growth,” Thakur said.
