The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is facing difficulties in the preparation of detailed project reports, as companies concerned are not ready to accept new technology, union minister Nitin Gadkari said on Tuesday.
The road transport and highways minister said that the government is encouraging the use of new technologies.
Addressing the ‘CRISIL India Infrastructure Conclave 2023’, he said big players in the steel and cement industry are indulging in cartelisation to jack-up prices.
“… The steel industry and cement industry… Whenever they get the chance, they make the cartel and increase the rate,” he said.
