India’s road construction likely to slide to a 5-year low of 25-26 km per day in FY26: ICRA

Road construction in the country is estimated to drop to a five-year low of 25-26 km per day in FY2025-26, domestic rating agency ICRA said on Tuesday.

ICRA attributed the decline to lower execution due to extended monsoon periods and a decline in project awarding over the past two years.

The rating agency said India will achieve an execution of over 9,000 km of roads in FY26 or 25-26 km per day, which represents a “significant slowdown”.
