To further give a push to the infrastructure, big plans are lined up that include roping in an advisor for asset monetisation and offering attractive schemes to private players, including identified 3,000 km of projects, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said. Plans are also afoot to make the vehicle scrapping policy more attractive, besides expediting the land acquisition process to create a network of expressways and highways.
“We are planning to rope in an Indian expert with experience in global economy for advising the NHAI on asset monetisation,” Road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said in an interview. The advisor, apart from asset monetisation, will guide the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on innovative ways to meet funding requirements, he said.
