We must look at innovative sources of funding for infrastructure: Nitin Gadkari
New Delhi: The ministry of road transport and highways is looking at alternative and innovative sources of funding as financing from banks is becoming a challenge, Union Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari said.
Gadkari said that his ministry has been doing well irrespective of any dedicated finance arm as compared to those for sectors like railways and power.
Around Rs. 17 lakh crore has been invested in roads, shipping and highways sector over the last five years, Gadkari said. “We must look beyond banks for financing,” he said at the CII national Council meet in Delhi on Friday.
