What is the criteria for declaration of National Highways in India? Explained
Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari today lists out details of four and six lane projects initiated by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on a state-wise basis in the Rajya Sabha. Undertakings in the North-Eastern States, however, are generally overseen by the Ministry through alternate executing bodies like the National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), Border Roads Organization (BRO), and various State Public Works Departments (PWDs).
Within Tripura, a project extending approximately 25 km and with a total capital outlay of Rs 2026 crore is presently underway under the administration of NHIDCL.
