NEW DELHI : Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to raise ₹1 lakh crore through monetisation of national highways in the next five years and exhorted industry players to come forward to reap rich dividends by investing in it.
Gadkari, who holds road transport portfolio along with MSME, said this will spur growth and the funds could be roped in creating sound infrastructure.
