The government is working on developing electric highways as it is economically viable, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Wednesday.
Gadkari has earlier said that making India’s first electric highway between Delhi and Jaipur is his dream.
“My idea about the electric highway is that NHAI will give right of way…Today, I had a discussion with the Power Ministry, I am trying to get electricity at the rate of Rs 3.50 per unit, otherwise, the commercial power rate is Rs 11 per unit,” Gadkari said at the ACMA annual session here.
