The overall highway construction in the country would be around 12,000-13,000 kilometres by the end of this financial year (FY24), a senior official at the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said here on Friday.
Anurag Jain, secretary MoRTH said while the overall construction is lower than what was targeted at the beginning of the financial year, the capacity augmentation and widening of existing highways to four lanes would touch a record high. The ministry had set a target of 13,800 km of road construction for 2023-24.
