The Centre’s move to monetise national highways has already fetched Rs 26,000 crore, as it plans monetisation worth Rs 1.6 lakh crore from the national highways (NHs) over the next four years, Nitin Gadkari, minister for road transport and highways, said.
The government’s overall digitisation drive in running and maintaining the NHs has been helping it in monetisation through toll plazas and fast track systems. The MORTH was looking forward towards creating an additional `lakh km of national highways in phases, Gadkari said at the annual general meeting of the Indian Chamber of Commerce.
