Transport infrastructure in India has grown at an unprecedented rate during nearly the last five years. We can, in fact, claim that this has been a period of “highest evers” and “never befores” for the sector. At the highest ever pace of construction, we have built more than 35,000 km of national highways in four and a half years. The country had never before seen world-class expressways such as the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and Western Peripheral Expressway or engineering marvels such as the Dhola Sadiya Bridge and Chenani Nashri Tunnel. The Bharatmala Pariyojana is unique and unprecedented in terms of its size and design, as is the idea of developing ports as engines of growth under Sagarmala.
